Following up his very well-received recordings That Old Feeling (Cellar Live Records, 2018) and For Once in My Life (Origin Records, 2015), Ben Paterson enters the sanctum santorium of jazz recording, Rudy Van Gelder's Studio in Hackensack, NJ. Having collided somewhere with saxophonist/entrepreneur Cory Weeds, the two initiate an idea perfect to the pair's hard bop sensibilities and something we can hope Weeds is considering for future recordings, hopefully a Cellar Live series with much more music like this.
Weeds has fashioned his Cellar Live Label as the equivalent for hard bop as Nagel Heyer and Arbors Jazz are for traditional jazz. Paterson had to have this in mind when selecting his ten songs to play with his organ trio a Van Gelder's Studio March 22 of this year.
Paterson addresses soul-jazz organ icons with funky performances of Brother Jack McDuff's "The Vibrator" and Richard "Groove" Holmes' "Sweatin.'" He then branches out to musicians known to frequent organ combos, with Grant Green's "Green Jeans" and Stanley Turrentine's "The Hustler." The remainder are devoted to hard bop proper, with Ray Brown's "F.S.R. (For Sonny Rollins)," Wayne Shorter's—by way of Lee Morgan—"Edda," and Benny Golson's "I Remember Clifford." Paterson is an exceptional organist, one who avoids every Jimmy Smith cliché to which lesser talents fall prey. Guitarist Ed Cherry plays with a sophisticated, round tone augmented with just a touch of reverb and echo. Drummer Jason Tiemann sounds as if he were born for organ jazz, always knowing where to be loud or not. This is not territory circuit greasy soul-jazz. It is that flavor, cleaned up ever so slightly for the concert stage. How great to hear drinking an ice-cold Vesper on a hot summer day.

//////////
Tras sus muy bien recibidas grabaciones That Old Feeling (Cellar Live Records, 2018) y For Once in My Life (Origin Records, 2015), Ben Paterson entra en el sanctasanctórum de la grabación de jazz, el estudio de Rudy Van Gelder en Hackensack, NJ. Habiendo chocado en algún lugar con el saxofonista/empresario Cory Weeds, los dos inician una idea perfecta para la sensibilidad hard bop de la pareja y algo que podemos esperar que Weeds esté considerando para futuras grabaciones, ojalá una serie Cellar Live con mucha más música como esta.
Weeds ha configurado su sello Cellar Live como el equivalente para el hard bop de lo que Nagel Heyer y Arbors Jazz son para el jazz tradicional. Paterson tuvo que tener esto en mente al seleccionar sus diez canciones para tocarlas con su trío de órgano en el Van Gelder's Studio el 22 de marzo de este año.
Paterson aborda iconos del órgano del soul-jazz con interpretaciones funky de "The Vibrator" de Brother Jack McDuff y "Sweatin'" de Richard "Groove" Holmes. A continuación, se desplaza a músicos conocidos por frecuentar combos de órgano, con "Green Jeans" de Grant Green y "The Hustler" de Stanley Turrentine. El resto está dedicado al hard bop propiamente dicho, con "F.S.R. (For Sonny Rollins)" de Ray Brown, "Edda" de Wayne Shorter -a través de Lee Morgan- y "I Remember Clifford" de Benny Golson. Paterson es un organista excepcional, que evita todos los clichés de Jimmy Smith de los que son presa otros talentos menores. El guitarrista Ed Cherry toca con un tono sofisticado y redondo aumentado con un toque de reverberación y eco. El batería Jason Tiemann suena como si hubiera nacido para el jazz de órgano, sabiendo siempre dónde hay que hacer ruido o no. Esto no es un circuito territorial de soul-jazz grasiento. Es ese sabor, limpiado ligeramente para el escenario del concierto. Qué bien se puede escuchar bebiendo un Vesper helado en un caluroso día de verano.
