O’s Notes: Bassist, composer and producer Ben-Shir gives us eight new compositions for his sophomore effort. The music has a friendly neobop swagger that is inoffensive but not too simple. We liked “Do It” with Duncan Martin (alto sax) and Diane Wernick (soprano sax) combining for a bouncy melody. Shimon gives his colleagues lots of solo opportunities but he steps up frequently as on his dashing bass line on “Gliding” and his solo on “Orange Sky”.
