Cold Spring Jazz Quartet is enjoying a warm reception of their newest CD,Warming Trend. Pianist Anthony Villa’s elegant, energetic solos lend grace and vivacity to the originals “Ver la Luz,” and “Hagerstown,” and to Thelonious Monk’s “Evidence.” Mark Osteen’s dynamic saxophone playing hits new heights with dashing tenor solos on “Samba de Orfeu,” and his own “On Second Thought.” Drummer Greg Mack is showcased on the Afro-Cuban burner “Los Bravos,” and bassist Gary Kerner’s witty style is perfect for Mose Allison’s sardonic “I Don’t Worry about a Thing.”

Every performance is pitch perfect, exciting musically and informative.
