Reviewed: 2019-09-23 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: Saxophonist Roberts showcases two different organ trios with two of the best jazz organists around, all held down by one of jazz’s top drummers. The eight selections are a combination of originals and standards with each trio member given plenty of room to stretch out. There’s a different textural feel with Cohen at the B3, with the accent on chords rather than Joey D.’s machine gun array of notes soloing. If You Like: Stanley Turrentine, Johnny Griffin, Eddie Harris, Jimmy Smith, Art Blakey Track Review (favorites denoted by *): **1/ My Girl Is Just Enough Woman for Me (9:58) – organ starts> uptempo jam> sax solo> organ solo> drum solo> uptempo jam> crescendo & fade 2/ Why Was I Born (10:49) – organ starts> slow tempo jam> sax solo> organ solo> slow jam> slow fade *3/ Trams (10:12) – sax solo starts> uptempo jam> organ solo> sax solo> uptempo jam> crescendo end *4/ The Waltz Of Parting Days (7:07) – sax starts> midtempo jam> sax solo> organ solo> midtempo jam> slow fade **5/ Sly Old Dog (9:27) – drums start> rocking uptempo jam with drums up front> organ solo> sax solo soars> uptempo jam> slow fade> organ crescendo end 6/ Jack The Sipper (8:46) – organ starts> uptempo jam> sax solo> organ solo> uptempo jam> fade *7/ Little Man You’ve Had A Busy Day (9:56) – sax starts> slow tempo jam> organ solo> gorgeous sax solo> slow jam swells in volume, then mellows> slow fade **8/ Wizard Of Ozroop (10:23) – drums start> swinging uptempo jam> sax solo> sax solo swings wild> organ solo> uptempo jam> brief drum solo> uptempo jam> crescendo end | ||
