Linda Dachtyl • Blue Bop

 Review by Scott Yanow

Linda Dachtyls is an organist with roots in Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, and Hank Marr; the latter was one of her teachers at Ohio State. The music on Blue Bop straddles the boundaries between hard bop and soul-jazz, she swings constantly and, while reminiscent of past masters, she displays her own approach to the Hammond B-3. Dachtyls excels in the organ-tenor-guitar-drums format, utilizing some of Ohio's better straight-ahead players and romping throughout this easily enjoyable set of blues, ballads, and basic jazz material. Fans of '60s jazz organists will want to pick this one up.

 Reseña de Scott Yanow

Linda Dachtyls es una organista con raíces en Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff y Hank Marr; este último fue uno de sus profesores en la Estatal de Ohio. La música del Blue Bop se sitúa en la frontera entre el hard bop y el soul-jazz, se balancea constantemente y, aunque recuerda a los maestros del pasado, muestra su propio enfoque del Hammond B-3. Dachtyls sobresale en el formato de órgano, tenor, guitarra y batería, utilizando algunos de los mejores intérpretes de Ohio y retozando a través de este conjunto de blues, baladas y material básico de jazz. Los fans de los organistas de jazz de los 60 querrán elegir este.
