O’s Notes: Saxophonist Will Vinson leads a band with bassist Matt Penman and drummer Eric Harland. Melissa Aldana plays sax on two selections as well. Each of the musicians take an active role, asserting themselves to bring it in the spotlight or in support! The result is an exciting endeavor on Tripwire. The pace varies from the sizzling title track to the cool vibe of “Blue and Sentimental”.
