Led by gregarious slide trumpeter Steven Bernstein, Sex Mob is filled out by Kenny Wolleson (drums), Tony Scherr (bass), and Bridget Krauss (alto sax). The quartet covers deliciously familiar material—ranging from John Barry and the Grateful Dead to Nino Rota—with virtuosic chops and high energy. Chamber-pop collective Cuddle Magic is locally sourced, artisanal, and cute as heck.
