O’s Notes: Michael Wolff plays piano with drummer Mike Clark and Leon Lee Dorsey on bass. The trio tackles the timeless 1967 Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. They aren’t the first, nor will they be the last to reimagine this classic album. WCD managed to make it appreciable in the jazz trio format using arrangements that enhance but don’t disguise the originals beyond recognition making Play Sgt. Pepper a winner.
