O’s Notes: Saxophonist Benjamin Koppel, drummer Brian Blade, and Anders Koppel on the Hammond organ share billing on Time Again, with real magic between Blade and the father & son combo. There’s a lot to enjoy here: a touch of Latin on “Mavis”, the soulfully passionate “If You Forget Me”, a little reggae on the title track with spoken word by Blade, and Ben playing with a sense of desperation. He’s on the pulpit and delivers a strong message!
