O’s Notes: Bassist Derek Frank presents us with a musical autobiography on Origin Story. The vibe is funky pop, and the titles give us a hint of what’s on his mind as he matured from adolescence in Pittsburgh, PA to being a young adult, and now a professional bass player. We liked “Culdesac”, the cover of “Jive Talkin’”, “The Yinzer” featuring special guest, Karl Denson on tenor sax, and “Thwip!”.
