O’s Notes: Play On is the third release from the Dolphy-inspired Out To Dinner. This edition features Patrick Cornelius (a-sax), Ryan Keberle (tb) with founding members Behn Gileece (vibes) and Boris Kozlov (b). Drummer Rudy Royston returns from the last album Different Flavors. Each of the members contribute original music. Highlights are “The Last Corner”, “Episodes of Grace”, “Joshua”, and “Hollow Men” with a fine solo from Kerberle. They blend hard bop with modern jazz to arrive at a unique groove that is engaging!
