O’s Notes: New York-based saxophonist Boyce Justice Griffith makes his debut leading a quintet with Anthony Hervey (t), Isaiah J. Thompson (p), Marty Jaffa (b), and John Sturino (d). It is an interesting endeavor centered around a recurring theme, The Point, with many different moods. They swing hard on “Something To Prove”, Hervey & Justice Griffith shine on “The Walk”, and Jaffa stands tall on “Balrog”. The four-part title track is also notable, leaving us anticipating the next release.
