O’s Notes: Bassist and composer Tom Kennedy comes from a musical family and got an early start as a musician. He moved from acoustic to electric bass in his late teens and is comfortable playing either having performed with many jazz legends along the way. Points of View places Tom in a leadership role with an all-star band including Dave Weckl (d), Bill Evans (sax), Chuck Loeb (g), Lee Ritenour (g), Mike Stern (g), Bob Franceschini (sax) and Randy Brecker (t). They play a mellow jazz-fusion but swing hard on the title track, one of six originals by Kennedy.
