Review by Steve Leggett
German Hammond B-3 innovator Barbara Dennerlein not only doesn't sound like Jimmy Smith on In a Silent Mood, it is really doubtful that these tracks could even be called jazz. A tranquil suite to the power of the inner life, In a Silent Mood is made up of carefully composed segments that stand individually on their own, but taken together, form a complete whole. Using only her B-3 here (and the occasional piano), and outfitted with foot pedals that trip her MIDI synthesizer settings, Dennerlein has assembled a beautiful album that glides and reaches into the rare, thin atmosphere of dreams. As much as Smith defined the possibilities of the B-3 at the end of the 20th century, Dennerlein is beginning to define it for the 21st.

Reseña por Steve Leggett
La innovadora de German Hammond B-3, Barbara Dennerlein, no solo suena como Jimmy Smith en In a Silent Mood, es muy dudoso que estas pistas puedan incluso llamarse jazz. Un conjunto tranquilo para el poder de la vida interior, In a Silent Mood se compone de segmentos cuidadosamente compuestos que se destacan individualmente por sí solos, pero tomados en conjunto, forman un todo completo. Usando solo su B-3 aquí (y el piano ocasional), y equipado con pedales que triplican su configuración de sintetizador MIDI, Dennerlein ha ensamblado un hermoso álbum que se desliza y alcanza la rara y delgada atmósfera de los sueños. Por mucho que Smith definió las posibilidades del B-3 a finales del siglo XX, Dennerlein está empezando a definirlo para el 21.
