O’s Notes: Guitarist Fernando Ulibarri hails from Miami where he also teaches at a local University. He has polished skills as a musician and composed all of the music on Transform, a fresh contemporary sound that is sophisticated yet easily approachable. Straight ahead jazz fans can embrace this set. Jim Gasior (keyboards), Josh Allen (b) and John Yarling (d) are Fernando’s accompaniment and they work well as a unit. Ulibarri shines by playing less notes and embellishing the melody vs. a litany of pyrotechnics. It works!
