O’s Notes: Jazz vocalist Joelle Lurie has a unique voicing that blends well with her band. The Pinehurst Trio is Conor Meehan (d), Nick Consol (keyboards) and arranger Benjamin Galina (b, g). The program is mostly fresh arrangements of classics with a few originals. We enjoyed their take on “All Or Nothing At All”. Matt Kanelos joins Joelle singing the pop ballad “Should We?” Several other guest artists add color along the way leading to a fine effort that dresses yesterday for today’s party.
