O’s Notes: MacDonough plays sax in the style of drums as inspired by percussionist Michael Spiro. That may be an unusual concept but it sounds great especially on “Miss Gulch”, one of fifteen strong contemporary jazz and Latin-based arrangements of music from The Wizard of Oz. Again a hokey concept but it works very well. The band includes Jovino Santos Neto (p) Paul van Wageningen (d) and Mark Levine (p). Peter’s talent, that of his accompaniment and the daring concept are executed to perfection. Our favorite tracks are “Optimistic Voices”, “The Lullaby League” and “If I Were The King of the Forest”.
