Brian Charette's a contemporary organist who's always out to set himself apart from most of the rest not by forcing any sort of experimental modes on the Hammond, or by trying to race up and down the keys but just by relaxing into a tune, and really finding a way to deliver a performance that's clear and crisp, yet undeniably soulful! Whereas other younger Hammondists might be driven to work in the territory of the Jimmys McGriff and Smith or Jack McDuff Charette's almost got more of the understated quality of Shirley Scott, especially on a trio date like this. Brian keeps his tone nicely in check always playing with these round, fully-formed notes even on material by artists like Larry Young or Joe Henderson and he's balanced out here by the piano of Henry Hay and drums of Jochen Rueckert, in a way that uses the piano to almost underscore and echo the lines of the organ. Titles include "The Blessing", "Backup", "A Shade Of Jade", "Tadd's Delight", "These Are Soulful Days", and "Dahoud".  © 1996-2017, Dusty Groove, Inc. https://www.dustygroove.com/item/859854/Brian-Charette:Back-Up
