Guitarist Jim Witzel creates a vintage B3 trio and quartet with Jason Lewis/dr, Brian Ho/B3 and guest Dann Zinn/ts. Zinn’s beefy tenor works wonders as the team shuffles to the infectious title tune while Zinn gets Coltrane-esque for the bluesy “Ms. Information” and the big beat of “Beyond Beijing”. Witzel displays his Herb Ellis warmth on his delicate solo statement, “I Loves You Porgy”, while grooving around Lewis’ brushes on the deft “Softly, As IN A Summer Sunrise” and the humming Hammond of a clever take of “Norwegian”. Good feelings abound.
