Charlie Dennard switches between a trio with Max Moran/b and Doug Belote/dr with a rotating team of horns, guitars and percussion. For the stripped down band, Dennard and company give a snappy New Orleans pulse to the fun “St. Charles Strut” while dressing up for a pretty evening on “Tros Fois” and the leader plugging into the keyboards for a soulful ballad “Joe’s Crusade.” A lovely lyrical flow for “Wanderlust” is augmented by Steve Masakowski’s gentle guitar, and with a full horn section, the band gets bluesy for a Memphis stew of “Father.” The title track is a rich bopper with brad Walker/ts and Eric Lucero/tp warming up the harmonies and with some woodwinds and percussion, Dennard evokes mysteries on “Mojave.” More shades of blue than a box of Crayolas.
