O’s Notes: Pianist Alex Sjobeck and bassist David Baker team up on for Pictures In Time, a collection of eight fresh, modern jazz selections. They are energizing on “Arabah”. Baker walks while Sjobeck dances around the keyboard on “Liberation”, complemented by warm ballads like “With A Naked Heart” making this a enchanting encounter. These are tunes that are snapshots of their shared history.
