O’s Notes: Keyboardist Bryant Thompson composed ten contemporary jazz tunes and infuses variety by featuring special guest artists. Mace Hibbard plays soprano sax on “Stargazing”. Darnell Freeman adds a funky bass line on “Free Your Mind”. Eric Essix warms things up with a bubbly lead guitar line on “Shadowboxer”. Tracy Hamlin sings light vocals complimenting the melody from Anthony Papamichael on guitar. Bryant shows his prowess on “Love Notes” a solo piano ballad. The groove gets better with each song making this smooth jazz album pop culminating with “Perfect Timing”.
