O’s Notes: Bassist Josh Ginsburg surrounds himself with three formidable musicians for his latest release. Eli Degibri (sax), George Colligan (p) and Rudy Royston (d) keep things popping all the way through. Zembla is the name of the Brooklyn neighborhood that Josh lives in and the inspiration for his music, a funky syncopated modern jazz effort with punchy beats and catchy riffs. It is energetic and easy to embrace, a clear winner.
