Charles Kynard is an organist whose jazz-funk leanings rival his predecessors and peers, though not eclipsing them. Solid, though never flashy. He also plays electric bass. Kynard's album Reelin' With the Feelin' has been sampled and appears on several acid jazz releases. Hammond virtuoso and electric-bass player, Kynard didn't become too famous for two reasons: he just played in his local L.A. instead of touring, and he recorded very few sessions. Nevertheless, his artistry was enormous and his recordings are true gems. He was too busy to devote himself to a successful career as a jazz musician. During the day he worked with mentally retarded children, at night he played at local clubs and on sunday he played organ at his church. Even so, he had time for his wife and children. Kynard was a master at different styles. Playing funk he could have rivalled Richard 'Groove' Holmes in speed and accuracy; his blues were delightful and when it came to slow down he knew how to add an airy touch letting the others play. His recordings were scarce but he shared studio with top notch artists like Les McCann, Houston Person, Grant Green and Idris Muhammad.https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/charles-kynard/

Charles Kynard es un organista cuyas inclinaciones jazz-funk rivalizan con las de sus predecesores y coetáneos, aunque sin eclipsarlos. Sólido, aunque nunca llamativo. También toca el bajo eléctrico. El álbum de Kynard Reelin' With the Feelin' ha sido sampleado y aparece en varios lanzamientos de acid jazz. Virtuoso del Hammond y del bajo eléctrico, Kynard no se hizo demasiado famoso por dos razones: se limitó a tocar en su local de Los Ángeles en lugar de hacer giras, y grabó muy pocas sesiones. Sin embargo, su arte era enorme y sus grabaciones son verdaderas joyas. Estaba demasiado ocupado para dedicarse a una carrera de éxito como músico de jazz. Durante el día trabajaba con niños retrasados mentales, por la noche tocaba en clubes locales y los domingos tocaba el órgano en su iglesia. Aun así, tenía tiempo para su mujer y sus hijos. Kynard era un maestro en diferentes estilos. Tocando funk podría haber rivalizado con Richard 'Groove' Holmes en velocidad y precisión; sus blues eran deliciosos y a la hora de ralentizar sabía añadir un toque aéreo dejando tocar a los demás. Sus grabaciones fueron escasas, pero compartió estudio con artistas de primera fila como Les McCann, Houston Person, Grant Green e Idris Muhammad.https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/charles-kynard/
