Ark Ovrutski – 44:33 4/3 O’s Notes: Great music starts with great musicians and clearly bassist Ark Ovrutski understands this equations. For 44:33, Ark enlists support from Michael Thomas (reeds), Michael Dease (tb), David Berkman (p) and Ulysses Owens (d). This is first call talent on the New York Jazz scene. Ovrutski wrote all of the music except a cover of "Milestones" and it pops throughout the set, all 44 minutes and 33 seconds. This is a strong debut! — D. Oscar Groomes O’s Place Jazz Magazine
