O’s Notes: Pianist Tardo Hammer assembles a trio with bassist Lee Hudson and Steve Williams on drums. You may not be familiar with Tardo but he is a first call veteran sideman on the NYC jazz scene. His work as a leader has been sparse but well received.“Swinging On A Star“is a cool set of nine bubbly classics including the swinging “Numero Uno” and a taste of Brazil with “Samba Do Brilho“.
