O’s Notes: Sometimes the best course of action is keeping it simple. That is the case in this duet featuring pianist Bill O’Connell and Stave Slagle on sax and flute. They have countless hours performing together and it shows in their seamless interaction. Simplicity doesn’t rob us of any pleasure in fact we get a clear view of the musicians and the pure sound of their instruments. Highlights are “One Life” and “KD Jr” a tribute to the late Kenny Drew, Jr.
