Co-leaders Aaron Aranita/p-wwinds and David Yamasaki/g lead a pack of Ernie Provencher/b and Scott Shafer/dr through a mix of post bopping originals. Sandara Tsukiyama lends her lovely voice to the cozy samba of “Manoa”. Aranita’s tenor is warm and lyrical while also playing the piano during “Almost Home” and his flute glides over Provencher’s dug in bass line for the clever “Mambossaki”. Yamasaki’s guitar is tasty on the funk fest of “Groovology” and impressionistic around Aranita’s piano for “The Path”. The team is slinky around the loose and laconic “Slybone” yearns to “The Road Less Traveled”. Safe at Home.
