Pat Bianchi • East Coast Roots

Review

Inspired by Joey DeFrancesco and, like every organist, by Jimmy Smith, Pat Bianchi plays very much in their two overlapping styles. This set teams him with guitarist Mark Whitfield (who spent a period playing with Smith) and with DeFrancesco's longtime drummer, Byron Landham. To try something a little different, Bianchi recorded eight songs that are not associated with organists and in most cases were probably never recorded previously by an organist. The modern jazz classics, which include songs by Bobby Hutcherson, John Coltrane ("Straight Street"), Jimmy Heath, and Bill Evans, all adapt themselves well to this soul-jazz setting, particularly "Gingerbread Boy" and Ernie Wilkins' exciting "Dizzy's Business." Fans of the Hammond B-3 organ now have another hero in Pat Bianchi. East Coast Roots is an excellent example of his artistry.

Revisar

Inspirado por Joey DeFrancesco y, como todo organista, por Jimmy Smith, Pat Bianchi toca mucho en sus dos estilos superpuestos. Este conjunto lo une al guitarrista Mark Whitfield (que pasó un tiempo tocando con Smith) y al baterista de larga data de DeFrancesco, Byron Landham. Para probar algo un poco diferente, Bianchi grabó ocho canciones que no están asociadas con los organistas y en la mayoría de los casos probablemente nunca fueron grabadas anteriormente por un organista. Los clásicos del jazz moderno, que incluyen canciones de Bobby Hutcherson, John Coltrane ("Straight Street"), Jimmy Heath y Bill Evans, se adaptan bien a este entorno de soul-jazz, en particular "Gingerbread Boy" y el emocionante "Dizzy's Business" de Ernie Wilkins. Los fans del órgano B-3 de Hammond tienen ahora otro héroe en Pat Bianchi. Raíces de la Costa Este es un excelente ejemplo de su arte.
