Jazz Ruler Type: Swing
Performance: 3
Sound: 3
Score: 72
O’s Notes: Keith Oxman (t-sax) and Frank Morelli (bassoon) are the headliners on The Ox-Mo Incident in front of a rhythm section with Jeff Jenkins (p), Ken Walker (b) and Todd Reid (d). The tandem melodies between sax and bassoon make the session special. We make note of Morelli’s rich tone on bassoon and welcome his contribution to the jazz genre. Our favorites are “The Surry With The Fringe On Top” and the title track.
