Frankie V is huge in just about every sense of the word. Physically, personally and emotionally, the trumpet and flugelhorn player exudes an air larger than life. He brought that personality to Ryles Jazz Club in Cambridge on Nov. 3, assembling a six-piece band including percussionist Eguie Castrillo and guitarist Bruce Bartlett, in one of Frankie’s three stops in town this year...
Frankie confesses that his true love is the trumpet, but he’s parlayed his general largesse into a meaty flugelhorn sound that he alternates with its higher register cousin.

Perhaps the various rappers that show up on Embrace just can’t manage the textured rhythms Ozo throw up when they play by themselves: Certainly just about all of the more...
