O’s Notes: Saxophonist Paul Kendall plays in an organ trio with Dan Kostelnik (B3), and drummer Rudy Petschauer. This is a formidable team that shines without the bling! They open with the simmering title track and continue that vibe on “These Foolish Things”. There’s a bouncy, groove over the entire album notably on “Speak Low” culminating with an all-out jam on “Quick Drink”. Other highlights are the blazing takes of “Airegin”, “It’s You Or No One”, and the cool “Pensativa”.
