Fresh off the heels of his big band album "+17", James sets down his flugelhorn in favour of a Nord C2 organ, and he turns in this organ trio effort with the help of guitarist Ken Karsh (on loan from Alanna Records) and drummer Shaun Chesley. After fresh takes on standard "Indiana" and Karsh's 1977 tune "The Ducks of Boston", the trio tackles four of James's new originals, ranging from the bluesy to the sadistically difficult. Pittsburgh-based saxophonist (and James's former composition teacher at Duquesne University) Mike Tomaro pops in for a couple solos, as well.
Modern Organ Trio
Very unusual jazz organ album, since the guy plays a Nord C2 instead of the classic Hammond B3. It's very close in terms of tone, with a clean sound, and very well played. Once again, thank you Mai Naime for another fantastic glimpse of the jazz organ scene today. Cheers!
ReplyDeletePretty good jazz record, with 3 OK musicians (and not just the organ player)
