O’s Notes: Soulful vocalist Amber Weekes breathes her magic into ‘Round Midnight Re-imagined. She chooses a dozen classics to recreate her family’s history in New York City during the Post Harlem Renaissance Period. Amber performs the songs through her own lenses, a risky endeavor that pays dividends with the help of extensive liner notes. Among the best are the bluesy “Hazel’s Hips”, “Sistermoon/Summertime”, “My Romance”, ”The Bar Suite” and the title track.
