JAZZ ORGAN

Pat Bianchi on organ is accompanied by electric guitar and drums. The set includes two original compositions.

All instrumental. No FCC issues.

1 Mid-fast to very fast. Pop-song melody. Long solo on hollow-body elec guitar. (5:50)
2 * Mid-tempo & swinging. Good exchange between organ & guitar. Steady drums. (6:08)
3 Very slow. Shimmering cymbals to start. Bluesy ballad. Uninteresting. (6:00)
4 Mid-fast. Long tedious solos (scales) on organ and guitar. (6:08)
5 Slow. Quiet ballad. Never amounts to much. (7:04)
6 ** Very fast. Showy, impressive keyboard & fret board work. Good drums too. (4:12)
7 Mid-slow. Improvisational, featuring guitar quite a lot. (6:26)
8 * Fast. Soulful solos on organ & guitar. Good bass and drums. (4:50)
9 ** Happy sound. Amusing start/stop pattern. Show-off organ solo. (6:21)
10 Stevie Wonder tune. Big smooshy chords. Retro sound. (4:31)
