Deep Blue Organ Trio • Deep Blue Bruise



Album notes
Deep Blue Organ Trio: Chris Foreman (Hammond b-3 organ); Greg Rockingham (drums); Bobby Broom.

Philadelphia jazz singer Lou Lanza had an excellent point when he asserted that jazz improvisers who ignore rock and R&B songs "are cutting themselves off from a lot of worthwhile material." Lanza wasn't suggesting that jazz artists should totally give up the Tin Pan Alley standards they've been performing all these years -- actually, he's done plenty of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin gems himself -- but he was saying that if you're going to use popular songs as vehicles for jazz expression, there is no reason not to interpret Sting, Billy Joel or Prince along with Harry Warren and George Gershwin. And if Deep Blue Bruise is any indication, the members of the Deep Blue Organ Trio -- leader/organist Chris Foreman, guitarist Bobby Broom and drummer Greg Rockingham -- feel the same way. While Deep Blue Bruise is definitely an album of instrumental jazz, only a few of the songs on this soul-jazz/hard bop/post-bop disc were actually written as jazz instrumentals. Joe Henderson's "Granted" and Broom's exuberant title track were jazz instrumentals from birth, but most of the songs on this 2004 date started out in popular music -- and that is true of "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" and "These Foolish Things" (both from Tin Pan Alley) as well as Prince's "Raspberry Beret," the Doors' "Light My Fire" and Earth, Wind & Fire's "Can't Hide Love." What the Deep Blue Organ Trio does to these songs isn't smooth jazz or NAC music; this is a passionate, hard-swinging organ combo in the Jimmy Smith/Richard "Groove" Holmes/Shirley Scott/Jack McDuff tradition, and a real improviser's mentality prevails whether the Chicago threesome is tackling Ervin Drake's "It Was a Very Good Year" or the Isaac Hayes tune "Café Regio's." Although not innovative by 21st century standards, Deep Blue Bruise is a satisfying, noteworthy effort that die-hard Hammond B-3 enthusiasts will appreciate. ~ Alex Henderson

El cantante de jazz de Filadelfia Lou Lanza tenía un punto excelente cuando afirmaba que los improvisadores de jazz que ignoran las canciones de rock y R&B "se están privando de un montón de material que merece la pena". Lanza no estaba sugiriendo que los artistas de jazz deban renunciar totalmente a los estándares de Tin Pan Alley que han estado interpretando todos estos años -en realidad, él mismo ha hecho muchas gemas de Cole Porter e Irving Berlin-, pero estaba diciendo que si vas a utilizar canciones populares como vehículos para la expresión del jazz, no hay razón para no interpretar a Sting, Billy Joel o Prince junto con Harry Warren y George Gershwin. Y si Deep Blue Bruise es una indicación, los miembros del Deep Blue Organ Trio -el líder/organista Chris Foreman, el guitarrista Bobby Broom y el baterista Greg Rockingham- piensan lo mismo. Aunque Deep Blue Bruise es definitivamente un álbum de jazz instrumental, sólo unas pocas canciones de este disco de soul-jazz/hard bop/post-bop fueron escritas realmente como instrumentales de jazz. "Granted" de Joe Henderson y el exuberante tema del título de Broom fueron instrumentales de jazz desde su nacimiento, pero la mayoría de las canciones de esta cita de 2004 empezaron en la música popular -- y eso es cierto para "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" y "These Foolish Things" (ambas de Tin Pan Alley) así como para "Raspberry Beret" de Prince, "Light My Fire" de los Doors y "Can't Hide Love" de Earth, Wind & Fire. Lo que el Deep Blue Organ Trio hace con estas canciones no es jazz suave o música NAC; se trata de un combo de órgano apasionado y duro en la tradición de Jimmy Smith/Richard "Groove" Holmes/Shirley Scott/Jack McDuff, y una verdadera mentalidad de improvisación prevalece tanto si el trío de Chicago está abordando "It Was a Very Good Year" de Ervin Drake como el tema de Isaac Hayes "Café Regio's". Aunque no es innovador para los estándares del siglo XXI, Deep Blue Bruise es un esfuerzo satisfactorio y digno de mención que los entusiastas acérrimos del Hammond B-3 sabrán apreciar. ~ Alex Henderson
