Review by Scott Yanow
For a change of pace, Eric Alexander recorded this set with an organ
trio. The fact that it was cut in Europe is not too relevant, since the
musicians are all Americans. With stimulating backing by organist Melvin
Rhyne, guitarist Bobby Broom, and drummer Joe Farnsworth, Alexander
plays five originals by bandmembers (including three of his own) and a
trio of standards. However, the originals all swing and mostly sound as
if they could have been veteran standards, too. With the underrated
Rhyne keeping the rhythm grooving and lightly funky, Alexander often
tears into the pieces, while playing the ballads with a great deal of
warmth. Virtually all of Eric Alexander's recordings are easily
recommended.

Para un cambio de ritmo, Eric Alexander grabó este set con un trío de
órganos. El hecho de que se haya cortado en Europa no es demasiado
relevante, ya que los músicos son todos estadounidenses. Con el
estimulante respaldo del organista Melvin Rhyne, el guitarrista Bobby
Broom y el baterista Joe Farnsworth, Alexander interpreta cinco
originales de miembros de la banda (incluidos tres de los suyos) y un
trío de estándares. Sin embargo, los originales todos giran y en su
mayoría suenan como si pudieran haber sido estándares veteranos también.
Con el subestimado Rhyne manteniendo el ritmo acelerado y ligeramente
funky, Alexander a menudo rompe en pedazos mientras toca las baladas con
mucho calor. Prácticamente todas las grabaciones de Eric Alexander son
fácilmente recomendables.
