Review by Michael G. Nastos:
Organist Pat Bianchi's turn to be in the spotlight as a premier player on his instrument is long overdue, and with the release of Back Home, it's clear his time has finally come. Since the 2006 issue of his album East Coast Roots on the Jazzed Media label and his estimable work with guitarist Corey Christiansen, Bianchi's star has been steadily rising, but now he's reached his zenith. Playing with two different groups, Bianchi transcends soul-jazz by playing the C-3 (church) organ, choosing heady progressive material, and showing his acumen on his instrument similar to peer Larry Goldings (see the Goldings masterpiece Sweet Science). With his "A" group -- the very energetic sidemen of drummer Ralph Peterson, tenor saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, and trumpeter Terell Stafford -- alongside, Bianchi whips out compositions not necessarily thought of as vehicles for organ, evidence including the super-fast and tricky Ornette Coleman post-bop piece "Blues Connotation" and Chick Corea's 6/8 groove and bop track "Litha," which came directly from fusion originally with electric piano. The "B" trio with drummer Carmen Intorre and guitarist Gilad Hekselman also tackles difficult music -- John Coltrane's "Fifth House" (and an additional shorter alternate take) challenges rhythmic parameters in a modal sense while Bianchi goes off à la Larry Young. But where Bianchi's three pieces also explore a mellower sound during ballads and blues, it is his deeply hued style on the C-3 that identifies a new approach to playing modern jazz. What Bianchi is doing is very nearly innovative, and this should only be the tip of the iceberg.

Reseña de Michael G. Nastos:
El turno del organista Pat Bianchi para estar en el centro de atención como un jugador de primera clase en su instrumento se espera desde hace mucho tiempo, y con el lanzamiento de Back Home, está claro que su tiempo finalmente ha llegado. Desde la edición en 2006 de su álbum East Coast Roots en el sello Jazzed Media y su estimable trabajo con el guitarrista Corey Christiansen, la estrella de Bianchi no ha dejado de crecer, pero ahora ha alcanzado su cenit. Tocando con dos grupos diferentes, Bianchi trasciende el soul-jazz tocando el órgano C-3 (de iglesia), eligiendo material progresivo embriagador y mostrando su perspicacia en su instrumento, similar a la de su colega Larry Goldings (véase la obra maestra de Goldings, Sweet Science). Con su grupo "A" -los enérgicos acompañantes del baterista Ralph Peterson, el saxofonista tenor Wayne Escoffery y el trompetista Terell Stafford- al lado, Bianchi saca a relucir composiciones que no necesariamente se piensan como vehículos para el órgano, evidencia que incluye la pieza post-bop de Ornette Coleman "Blues Connotation" y el tema de 6/8 groove y bop "Litha" de Chick Corea, que vino directamente de la fusión originalmente con piano eléctrico. El trío "B", con la baterista Carmen Intorre y el guitarrista Gilad Hekselman, también aborda música difícil: "Fifth House" de John Coltrane (y una toma alternativa más corta) desafía los parámetros rítmicos en un sentido modal, mientras que Bianchi se va a lo Larry Young. Pero donde las tres piezas de Bianchi también exploran un sonido más suave durante las baladas y el blues, es su estilo profundamente matizado en el C-3 el que identifica un nuevo enfoque para tocar el jazz moderno. Lo que hace Bianchi es casi innovador, y esto debería ser sólo la punta del iceberg.
