"Minnesota jazz veteran McDonough is the keyboardist for Bozo Allegro, the Twin Cities-based, nine-piece, rock-jazz-blues big band... [H]is warm and cozy new CD, Small Steps, ... features reworkings of such jazz standards as All Blues, Crystal Silence and Nature Boy, as well as Eric Clapton's Layla and a nimble, slowed-down take on Vince Guaraldi's Linus and Lucy from A Charlie Brown Christmas."
