Review by Michael G. Nastos
Hammond B-3 organist Matthew Kaminski hails from Georgia, and offers a new and different perspective to playing his instrument, combining some aspects of soul-jazz, funk, standards, and be-bop on select tracks from this, his mid-major-label debut. Blessed with a great deal of taste but not overwhelming chops, Kaminski balances his sound just right with jazz and blues, covering only a few classics and dealing his original compositions with a full hand of face cards. On the Richard "Groove" Holmes 12-bar blues/bop oldie "Sweatin," and the Lou Donaldson's boogaloo "Hot Dog," Kaminski shows his respect for the tradition, but changes up completely for Brian Wilson's "Caroline, No" in an easygoing Latin mood on the modified pop song. Five originals are included that showcase a budding Kaminski as a thinker and inventor as on the slow drag of the John Scofield-like title track, the light but a bit dirty "Flip the Lid," the more ethereal "Mazzy," and the inventive "Karolina," a snappy ankle-biting song in 15/8 time. Pleasing and not overwhelming, Matthew Kaminski shows great promise as a studio player, while his live shows likely stretch out farther. This recording comes recommended, with much more to come.

Reseña de Michael G. Nastos
El organista de Hammond B-3 Matthew Kaminski es de Georgia y ofrece una perspectiva nueva y diferente para tocar su instrumento, combinando algunos aspectos del soul-jazz, funk, standards, y be-bop en temas selectos de este, su debut en el medio del sello. Bendecido con una gran cantidad de gusto, pero no con chuletas abrumadoras, Kaminski equilibra su sonido a la perfección con el jazz y el blues, cubriendo sólo unos pocos clásicos y tratando sus composiciones originales con una mano llena de cartas en la cara. En el Richard "Groove" Holmes 12-bar blues/bop olddie "Sweatin", y el boogaloo "Hot Dog" de Lou Donaldson, Kaminski muestra su respeto por la tradición, pero cambia completamente por "Caroline, No" de Brian Wilson, en un ambiente latino relajado en la canción pop modificada. Se incluyen cinco originales que muestran a un Kaminski en ciernes como pensador e inventor, como en el lento arrastre de la canción de John Scofield, la ligera pero un poco sucia "Flip the Lid", la más etérea "Mazzy", y la inventiva "Karolina", una canción que mordió el tobillo en 15/8 de tiempo. Agradable y no abrumador, Matthew Kaminski se muestra muy prometedor como jugador de estudio, mientras que sus programas en vivo probablemente se extienden más allá. Esta grabación viene recomendada, con mucho más por venir.
