O’s Notes: Composer and arranger Drew Paralic employs a fine quartet to perform his Wintertime Tunes. Elias Baily play bass with Vinnie Sperrazza on drums and Mike McGinnis playing sax and clarinet. Piano duty is handled by David Pearl with Bennett Paster and James Newman each taking the bench for one tune. Laura Kenyon sings on the opening and closing tracks framing a package that is fit for more than the chills of the season. Among the best are “Down in Soho”, “Steps” and “Finally 2001”. Each of these songs swings gently with a jovial spirit that will usher you through any wintertime blues.
