UNF grad Mica Bethea brings the songs and charts along with a swinging 18 piece band for an eclectic and enjoyable set. The sections know how to swing, as the brass and reeds are peppy for solos by Ray Callender/tp and Michael Dease/tb on “Crystal Clear” with the band showing its moodier side with muted horns during “Destiny’s Boat.” Some soulful keyboards by Josh Bowlus glide on “Meniscus and things close with a funky mix of keys and Dennis Marks’ electric bass on the fun “Guardian of Forever.” Impressive and fresh.
