O’s Notes: Pianist Bennett Paster leads a swinging septet that includes Joel Frahm on tenor sax and Tim Armacost on tenor and soprano saxes. The band is in Relentless Pursuit of the Beautiful, a collector of nine original compositions by Paster. There are several swinging numbers notably “Harmonica Mundi” and “Suspicious Fishes an Quiches”. By the time they get to “Bash Into Spring” the final song, they have realized their mission!
