| Saxophonist Cynthia Mullis releases her debut recording on OA2 Records entitled "Inside Job" featuring the outstanding Northwest rhythm section of Chris Spencer on guitar, Doug Miller on bass, and Steve Korn on drums. Rounding out the ensemble is Jeff Hay on trombone and Becca Duran on vocals. The CD features imaginative arrangements of jazz standards by Thelonious Monk , Billy Strayhorn and Dexter Gordon, as well as originals by Cynthia and Doug. Inspired by her experience in New York City and recorded in Seattle, the music is introspective yet upbeat and straight-ahead. The chemistry of the group is organic, creative, and exciting, and the musicianship is top-notch.
