O’s Notes: Guitarist and composer Jim Robitaille leads the way in this soft-fusion session with bassist Bill Miele and Chris Poudrier on drums. The music is all original except for three covers notably the cool, mellow version of Lennon/McCartney’s “Here, There and Everywhere”. They serve up a taste of Latin on “When We Passed” and Miele adds a fine solo on “Chance Meeting” to wrap up the set.
