O’s Notes: Pianist Rex Bell takes us into church recording The Last Ten Psalms. His Fazioli 308 sounds great in the trio setting with bassist Joe Vick and drummer Dave Rogers. Vocals come from Mary Ann Robinson (soprano) and producer Eric Chester (tenor). We wouldn’t call this gospel but Bell’s work would certainly enliven mass at your local Catholic or Episcopal Church! “Oh Lord I Feel You” is a winner and guest artist Tony Dagradi (sax) helps them swing on “The Lord Is My God” to make Bell’s interpretation on Psalms 141-150 a good performance.
