"Love Matters Now' by Alex Otey Trio, a light jazz Piano Trio work that includes several wonderful guest artists, including the legendary Richie Cole... these guys are simply dripping with cool... These three guys blow the roof off, but in such a way that it is enjoyable for everyone, not simply the Jazz elites"
