A lot of polished brass shines brightly on this album by Rebecca Hennessy, who plays trumpet, flugelhorn, peck horn and baritone horn along with Tom Richards/tb, Jay Burr/tb, Tania Gill/p, Don Scott/g and Nico Dan/dr. The team can get New Orleans fun and funky as on “Snag” or can turn on a dime and do a mix of klezmer and Latin during a Mingusy “Kings County Sheriff.” Burr’s tuba ambles like Gary Cooper in a Western on “Lagoon” and gets into a hip groove for some joyful ‘bone growling on “Two Calls.” Hennessy herself has a sweet tone to her horn as on “Birds For Free” and the medieval mooded “Horn Lake.” The team is light on its feet, making this easy on the ears.Rebecca Hennessy’s Fog Brass Band: Two Calls
