O’s Notes: Yvonne presents a dramatic, vocal presentation across 9 selections on her debut recording Sheer Bliss. She employs a wealth of talent including Marc Wageningen (b), Peter Michael Escovedo (perc), Pete Escovedo (congas) and arranger Ray Obiedo (g). We liked the bounce on “So Easy”, “Antidote” featuring trumpeter Bill Ortiz, “Morning Joe”, and the title track featuring Elena Pinderhughes (fl). Guitarist Mike Wallenberg shines on the finale, “Till There Was You”.
