O’s Notes: Rob puts his trumpet into the lead roll on these mostly new and creative compositions. Co-producer and guitarist Marty Bonk wrote them. The overall session groove has hints of New Orleans and pulses of club rock from time to time but maintains its jazz improv theme along the way. Also included is a modern arrangement of “Bye Bye Blackbird”. Drummer Paul Gallero has a good solo on “Ode To Husqvarna”, and they push a slow funky beat on “Mikey’s House”. They mellow a bit on “From the Heart” with nice work form both Marty and Rob rounding out a varied set.
