Organissimo • This Is The Place

Review

Organissimo is a funky and soulful organ trio based in Michigan. Organist Jim Alfredson, while touched by the style of Jimmy Smith, plays music that falls roughly halfway between soul-jazz and funk. He lays into catchy grooves and knows how to stretch out the music to its optimal length, leaving listeners wanting just a little more. Guitarist Joe Gloss is a perfect foil, while drummer Randy Marsh (who plays harmonica on "Brother Ray") keeps the momentum flowing. There is one guest appearance by tenor saxophonist Johnny Gist and two by percussionist Bill Vits, but most of the music is performed by the core trio. They must be fun to see live. Recommended.

Reseña

Organissimo es un trío de órganos con base en Michigan. El organista Jim Alfredson, aunque tocado por el estilo de Jimmy Smith, toca música que se sitúa más o menos a medio camino entre el soul-jazz y el funk. Se mueve en los ritmos pegajosos y sabe cómo estirar la música hasta su longitud óptima, dejando a los oyentes con ganas de un poco más. El guitarrista Joe Gloss es un perfecto ejemplo de ello, mientras que el batería Randy Marsh (que toca la armónica en "Brother Ray") mantiene el impulso. Hay una aparición como invitado del saxofonista tenor Johnny Gist y dos del percusionista Bill Vits, pero la mayor parte de la música es interpretada por el trío principal. Debe ser divertido verlos en vivo. Recomendado.
