O’s Notes: Trumpeter Curtis Taylor forms a quintet with Theron Brown (p), Jonathon Muir-Cotton (b), Marcus Elliott (t-sax), and Alex White (d). David Castañeda joins them on percussion. We like the soothing effects of “After The Rain”, before they continue burning on “Heightened Awareness”. They shine on the mid-tempo “For Her”, “Hashtagged”, and “Journey”. They prove to be enticing at all tempos.
