O’s Notes: Crooner/guitarist Steven Blane sings a wide variety of tunes on Songs For New York Lovers, matching the diversity of The Big Apple. He is shadowed by saxophonist Michael Johnson with a rhythm section of Jack Glottman (p), Kevin Hailey (b), and Frank Levatino (d). We enjoyed “The Rabbi’s Tzitzit”, the cabaret, bounce of “I Hurt Myself Today”, a taste of Latin on “Juanita”, and ”Thanksgiving” featuring Glottman.
