O’s Notes: Vibraphonist Behn Gillece lines up with a polished rhythm section including Art Hirahara (p), Boris Kozlov (b) and Rudy Royston (d). The syncopated percussion blended with piano and vibes is sizzling on “Rattles” while Royston and Kozlov set the pace on “Outnumbered”. Nicole Glover adds soothing, warm sax notes on “Event Horizon”. We also enjoyed the relaxing “Going On Well” and “Extraction”. There are strong performances from the entire band making Still Doing Our Thing an engaging and rewarding session.
