The Hammond B3 was originally developed to replace pipe organs and luckily for B3 jazz trio lovers it caught on as a less expensive alternative for African- American churches. Its power chords and subtle note caresses, built-in bass pedals and funky sound when combined with a guitarist and drummer eventually spawned the soul jazz genre. From the opening sounds of North Beach Blues it is obvious that Lonnie Gasperini is a B3 player who is heavy on the funk. His big sound meshes exceedingly well with guitarist Masami Ishikawa and drummer Mark Teixeira to make this live gig cook.
Gasperini's roots are in rock and there is a decided rockish edge to some of these tunes, most notably originals like "Can You Hear Me Now?," but he also ably plays the blues, Latin and gospel all the while laying on generous helpings of funky chords and bass lines. His appreciation for the genre is apparent on "The Doctor," a funky piece that pays homage to Gasperini's mentor Dr. Lonnie Smith, and "One for McGriff," a breezily soulful paean to organist Jimmy McGriff. Three of Smith's tunes are also featured here: the Latin funk of "Hola Muneca"; the delightfully greasy burner "Keep Talkin"; and the beautifully bluesy "Mama Wailer."

El Hammond B3 se desarrolló originalmente para reemplazar los órganos de la tubería y, afortunadamente, para los amantes del trío de jazz B3, se convirtió en una alternativa menos costosa para las iglesias afroamericanas. Sus acordes de poder y sus sutiles caricias de notas, los pedales de bajos incorporados y el sonido funky cuando se combinan con un guitarrista y un baterista finalmente engendraron el género del soul jazz. Desde los sonidos de apertura de North Beach Blues, es obvio que Lonnie Gasperini es un jugador de B3 que es pesado en el funk. Su gran sonido se confunde extremadamente bien con el guitarrista Masami Ishikawa y el baterista Mark Teixeira para hacer este concierto en vivo.
Las raíces de Gasperini están en el rock y hay una decidida ventaja rocosa en algunas de estas melodías, sobre todo en los originales como "Can You Hear Me Now?", Pero también toca hábilmente el blues, el latín y el evangelio al mismo tiempo que brinda generosas ayudas de Acordes funky y líneas de bajo. Su apreciación por el género es evidente en "The Doctor", una pieza extravagante que rinde homenaje al Dr. Lonnie Smith, mentor de Gasperini, y "One for McGriff", un himno muy alegre al organista Jimmy McGriff. Tres de las canciones de Smith también se presentan aquí: el funk latino de "Hola Muneca"; el quemador deliciosamente grasiento "Keep Talkin"; y la bellamente blues "Mama Wailer".
