O’s Notes: Pianist Muhler leads the charge on this set of seven original compositions. He guides a well-oiled quartet with Michael Wilcox (b), Brian Andes (d) and Sheldon Brown (sax). Eric allows each of the band members ample opportunity to showcase their talents and they do! Witness Andes’ fine work about three quarters if they way through “Alexandra Cristina A.M.” We also made note of Brown leading the charge on the racy tune “The Jury Is Out”. They unit remains tight through a spirited program, a testament to their skills. This session was recorded live at The Hillside Club in Berkeley, CA, an intimate concert hall that was rocking this evening!
