O’s Notes: Bassist, composer John Christensen leads a quintet with Tony Barbara (t-sax), Matt Gold (g, organ), Joshua Catania (keyboards), and Neil Hemphill (d) on Soft Rock. The eight original compositions are true to the title, touching John’s roots in American folk and rock genres. “A Tall Glass Of Bob” and “Happy Jacks” are the best in the bunch.
