Review from All About Jazz (by Pierre Giroux):
In the tradition of some great Hammond organ players of the past, such as Jack McDuff, Melvin Rhyne, Don Patterson, Larry Young and Jimmy Smith, one leading practitioner on this instrument, Brian Charette, wanted to write some swinging and soulful bebop tunes which would honor the memory of these past greats. The musicians Charette chose to travel on this journey were steeped in this genre, tenor saxophonist Cory Weeds, funky guitarist Ed Cherry and the swinging drummer Bill Stewart. To ensure that the charts were treated with the appropriate degree of seriousness, the band came together on November 4, 2021 at the Rudy Van Gelder Recording Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ with Maureen Sikler in charge of the engineering. The title track is Jackpot and the music is full measure as the title implies. Throughout the session the group manages to squeeze every drop of funky bop from all the charts.

Reseña de All About Jazz (por Pierre Giroux):
En la tradición de algunos grandes organistas Hammond del pasado, como Jack McDuff, Melvin Rhyne, Don Patterson, Larry Young y Jimmy Smith, un practicante líder de este instrumento, Brian Charette, quiso escribir algunos temas de bebop swingueantes y conmovedores que honraran la memoria de estos grandes del pasado. Los músicos que Charette eligió para viajar en este viaje estaban empapados en este género, el saxofonista tenor Cory Weeds, el guitarrista funky Ed Cherry y el swingueante baterista Bill Stewart. Para asegurar que las partituras fueran tratadas con el apropiado grado de seriedad, la banda se reunió el 4 de noviembre de 2021 en el Rudy Van Gelder Recording Studio, Englewood Cliffs, NJ con Maureen Sikler a cargo de la ingeniería. El tema titular es Jackpot y la música es de medida completa como el título implica. A lo largo de la sesión el grupo logra exprimir cada gota de bop funky de todas las partituras.
