Organissimo • Live At The Speakez



Since 2012, the SpeakEZ Lounge in Grand Rapids has hosted a Jazz Jam every Sunday night. The emcee and house drummer for the jam is none other than organissimo's Randy Marsh, so naturally organissimo performs there often.
Over the last few years, the band has documented these performances using a professional multi-track recording system. Originally these recordings were meant for organissimo's crowdfunding patrons as a bonus 'thank you' for their support. But in listening to the performances, the band decided they should be heard by more people.
Live At The SpeakEZ is in many ways a throwback to the days of the jazz clubs that dotted mid-century cities across America. It's where soul jazz and Hammond organ based jazz was nurtured and thrived, bringing jazz to the people at the local bar. In many ways, Live At The SpeakEZ is a continuation of recordings like Groove Holmes' Living Soul (recorded live at Count Basie's club in NYC), Johnny 'Hammond' Smith's Black Coffee (recorded live at the Monterey Club in New Haven, CT), and Jimmy Smith's Groovin' At Small's Paradise (recorded at the club of the same name in NYC). It captures organissimo in the moment, playing for the people, feeding off the energy of the audience, and just having a good time. And that's what music should be about!

Desde 2012, el SpeakEZ Lounge en Grand Rapids ha acogido un Jam de Jazz cada domingo por la noche. El maestro de ceremonias y el baterista de la casa no es otro que Randy Marsh de Organsimo, así que Organsimo actúa allí a menudo.
En los últimos años, la banda ha documentado estas actuaciones mediante un sistema de grabación profesional multipista. Originalmente, estas grabaciones estaban destinadas a los patrocinadores de organissimo como un "gracias" extra por su apoyo. Pero al escuchar las actuaciones, la banda decidió que deberían ser escuchadas por más gente.
Live At The SpeakEZ es en muchos sentidos un retroceso a los días de los clubes de jazz que salpicaban las ciudades de mediados de siglo en toda América. Es donde el jazz soul y el jazz basado en el órgano de Hammond se nutrió y prosperó, llevando el jazz a la gente en el bar local. En muchos sentidos, Live At The SpeakEZ es la continuación de grabaciones como Groove Holmes' Living Soul (grabado en directo en el club de Count Basie en NYC), Johnny 'Hammond' Smith's Black Coffee (grabado en directo en el Monterey Club de New Haven, CT), y Jimmy Smith's Groovin' At Small's Paradise (grabado en el club del mismo nombre en NYC). Capta el organissimo en el momento, tocando para la gente, alimentándose de la energía del público, y simplemente pasándoselo bien. Y de eso es de lo que debería tratar la música!
