The liner notes for Double Exposure recount that the disc was recorded in a few spare hours that drummer Cecil Brooks III and organist Gene Ludwig found themselves with while they were recording another album. That feeling of spontaneity and casual inspiration is very present on this rare organ and drum duo effort.
Ludwig is a veteran who has been performing since the early '60s. His style is very much in the same vein as the other more well-known soul-jazz players of the era. He achieves a rich, stately and swinging feel, all at the same time. His work at the end of "Serenade in Blue reveals the majesty of Hammond B-3 in full flight with a long, sustained burst of sound. Elsewhere, on Stevie Wonder's "Black Beauty, Ludwig takes an opposite route, showing off some fast finger work.
Brooks' playing throughout is steady and unobtrusive. He seems to sense that the best path to take when backing up an organ player is to keep things simple and make sure the proceedings don't get too abstract or loose. On his own composition, "Double Exposure, Brooks opens with some tensely rhythmic pounding that morphs into a slinking groove. He also gets to strut his stuff with some skittering breaks on Neal Hefti's "Cute.
Double Exposure is a fine, relaxed effort showcasing two musicians who play together with a great deal of comfort and conversational grace. The recording session was definitely a few hours of time well spent.

Las notas del forro para Double Exposure cuentan que el disco fue grabado en unas pocas horas libres con el baterista Cecil Brooks III y el organista Gene Ludwig mientras se encontraban grabando otro álbum. Ese sentimiento de espontaneidad e inspiración casual está muy presente en este raro esfuerzo de dúo de órgano y tambor.
Ludwig es un veterano que ha estado actuando desde principios de los años 60. Su estilo es muy similar al de otros músicos de soul-jazz más conocidos de la época. Consigue una sensación rica, majestuosa y oscilante, todo al mismo tiempo. Su trabajo al final de "Serenade in Blue revela la majestuosidad de Hammond B-3 en pleno vuelo con un estallido de sonido largo y sostenido. En otra parte, en" Black Beauty "de Stevie Wonder, Ludwig toma una ruta opuesta, mostrando un dedo rápido trabajo.
El juego de Brooks es constante y discreto. Parece sentir que el mejor camino a seguir cuando se hace una copia de seguridad de un órgano es mantener las cosas simples y asegurarse de que los procedimientos no sean demasiado abstractos o flexibles. En su propia composición, "Double Exposure, Brooks se abre con algunos golpes rítmicos tensos que se transforman en un surco escurridizo. También puede lucirse en sus cosas con algunos cambios bruscos en" Cute "de Neal Hefti.
Double Exposure es un esfuerzo fino y relajado que muestra a dos músicos que tocan juntos con gran comodidad y gracia para conversar. La sesión de grabación fue definitivamente unas pocas horas de tiempo bien empleadas.
