Woody Witt’s molasses thick tenor melds with Larry Ham’s soulful piano as the two lead a quartet with Lee Hudson/b and Tom Melito/dr through a collection of mostly originals. Of the covers, the team is relaxed and warm as Witt glows like Ike Quebec on “ You Must Believe In Spring” while Melito drives the team like wild mustangs on a swinging “Just You, Just Me.” The team does some nice soulful bopping on “22’s Blues” while Ham leads the rhythm through a deep groove on “The Edge Of Uncertainty” and chimes with Melito’s cymbals on “Concentric Circles.” Witt is a warm hearted player, palpable on the romantic “One of Many Shades” and with a vibrato that rumbles like a V8 on “Pirouette.” Gotta see these guys when they come to So Cal!
