O’s Notes: Les Grant is a jazz vocalist performing in front of a really cool, swinging quartet. The band is John Chin (p), John Ellis (sax), Matt Pavolka (b) and Dan Rieser (d). Les reshapes a familiar set of jazz classics in his own style infusing lyrics, scatting and his soul into the mix. Collectively Way Forward Way Back is unique and satisfying highlighted by “Blue Skies”, “Angel Eyes” and “Old Devil Moon”.
