O’s Notes: Bassist Erik Applegate teams up with several musician friends for ten duets. Dana Landry (p), Steve Kovalcheck (g), Kenyon Breiner (sax), Tom Amend (p) and Paul McKee (tb) each perform on two selections. All of the music is original: 5 from Erik and one from each of his pals! The stage is open and inviting for the musicians to display lots of creative passion on the solos. “Raising Arizona”, “Lucid Dreaming” and “Eighty For Us” are the best of the lot.
