O’s Notes: Pianist Aaron Diehl leads a trio with bassist David Wong and drummer Rodney Green. Guest artist Warren Wolf adds vibes on 7 of 10 selections. The program alternates between upbeat vibrant tunes and ballads. Diehl is definitive in either case with a punctuated, bouncy style. We particularly liked the ragtime style on “Stop and Go” and the bounce on “Moonlight In Vermont” surfacing strong contributions from each of musicians.
