The Organ Trio • Gig Bag

A new generation of jazz organists have a new approach to the old monster. They replace the funky, high-energy attack of the Sixties masters with harmonic subtlety and delicate washes of tonal colour. The Organ Trio's Mike Gorman is a leading exponent of the style, which blends beautifully with the guitar of Jim Mullen and drums of Matt Skelton. Naturally, with Mullen on board, the music swings compulsively and there's plenty of good melodic grit to keep you listening - but there's surprise and a bit of mystery as well. You wouldn't imagine that three jazz musicians could turn 'Nessun Dorma' into a wispy, ethereal little thing, would you? They also bring out the elegant contours of Brubeck's 'The Duke' and swing 'Blueberry Hill' into the middle of next week. But it's the originals that really catch the attention, especially Mullen's 'Don't Ask' and Gorman's 'Slow Flow'.

Una nueva generación de organistas de jazz tiene un nuevo enfoque del viejo monstruo. Reemplazan el ataque funky y de alta energía de los maestros de los sesenta con sutileza armónica y delicados lavados de color tonal. Mike Gorman de The Organ Trio es un destacado exponente del estilo, que combina maravillosamente con la guitarra de Jim Mullen y la batería de Matt Skelton. Naturalmente, con Mullen a bordo, la música se balancea compulsivamente y hay un montón de buen valor melódico para mantenerte escuchando, pero también hay sorpresa y un poco de misterio. No imaginarías que tres músicos de jazz pudieran convertir 'Nessun Dorma' en una cosita etérea y tenue, ¿verdad? También resaltan los elegantes contornos de 'The Duke' de Brubeck y balancean 'Blueberry Hill' a mediados de la próxima semana. Pero son los originales los que realmente llaman la atención, especialmente "Don't Ask" de Mullen y "Slow Flow" de Gorman.
