O’s Notes: Drummer Joe Syrian leads the Motor City Jazz Octet, a solid unit with a tight brass section. They perform fresh arrangements of pop and jazz classics taking advantage of the depth of their band. Rick Margitza (sax) makes a guest appearance on “Embraceable You” as done George Benson (g) on “Darn That Dream”. We also enjoyed “Come Together” and “Sir Duke” in a unique and engaging set.
