O’s Notes: Auction Project is a band with Arturo O’Farrill (p), Heather Martin Bixler (violin), Carlo De Rosa (b), Vince Cherico (d) and leader David Bixler (sax). They band is a well-knit team on stage and on the road as a loving family. Heather’s violin is the soothing factor in the music on “Cleveland” marrying well with Arturo’s keys on “The Wind That Shakes the Barley”. Guest artist David Stern (g) appears on two selections notably “Slink”. If at any point things drift (to bluegrass) as on “Heron’s Egg”, be patient, the fusion groove returns in force!
