Album Notes & Community Reviews
Featuring his signature, deeply grooving Hammond B-3 organ, 'Intensity' finds the bandleader leaning heavily into extended jazz-funk and soul-jazz improvisation. The ensemble features a prominent brass section that provides a thick, muscular foundation for the fiery keyboard solos. The album effectively bridges the gap between the gritty club jazz of the sixties and the polished, funk-heavy fusion dominating the new decade.
