O’s Notes: An all-star cast surrounds Karen for her debut recording. Joey DeFrancesco (B3), Russell Ferrante (p), Alex Acuña (percussion), Buddy Montgomery (vibes) and Will Kennedy (d) are among the crew. They are not here for charity or as label mates. They are here to support a musician they respect. Blixt is making a statement here with some blues, ballads and really cool jazz on tracks like her funky arrangement of “My Favorite Things” and a relaxed “Night and Day”. She shines on all of them swinging like a veteran.
