O’s Notes: 5After4 is a quartet with Johnny Johnson (woodwinds), Matt Horner (keyboards), Vito Rezza (d) and producer Peter Cardinali (b). Cardinali took Rezza for a 12 hour walking tour of Rome following their Berlin tour hence the title of the CD. They had a wonderful experience and that spirit is reflected in this music. It is upbeat and happy highlighted by “Balena”, “Golly G” and the title track. There are also a few warm ballads notably “Lee’s Mystery” featuring Cardinali with a bass solo. It’s a winner.
