O’s Notes: Pianist Dick Fregulia assembles a fine trio with bassist Steve Webber and Bill Moody on drums.“What Now?“is a series of live recordings from JB Piano Store in San Rafael, California? Dick is tickling the ivory on “All Blues/Blues In Green” with vibraphonist Piro Patton right behind him. No matter how many times we hear these classics, they sound great. We also enjoyed the mild samba on “Black Eyes”. There’s a lot of spirited piano playing for this upbeat jovial set!
