Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the immensely heavy, rhythmic capabilities of the Hammond B3 organ, this quartet date is a masterclass in relentless, sweat-soaked club grooves. The leader utilizes dense, blues-heavy chord voicings and rapid-fire right-hand lines, creating a gritty, gospel-infused atmosphere. 'Screamin'' effectively bridges the intellectual complexity of hard bop with the sheer physical energy of R&B dance halls.
