O’s Notes: Reggie plays trumpet and Loren is on the ivory. They lead the quartet with bassist Bill Moring and drummer Tim Horner. The music is from their own songbooks: nine originals plus a cool cover of “Ornithology”. They open with “On The B.T.”, a swinging blues number that puts us in their zone. They show a softer side on “Fall” and “Reflection”, both soothing ballads with Pittman leading the melody. But the bulk of the material is upbeat and swinging and we’re not complaining. We also enjoyed “Shaw Is Woody” and “Waterwind” in a fine session!
