Album Notes & Community Reviews

Continuing the staggering momentum of his revolutionary debut, the visionary organist further demonstrates his unparalleled ability to translate rapid-fire bebop phrasing to the Hammond B-3. Driving his own deep, walking basslines with his feet, he completely redefined the instrument's role from a church novelty into a formidable, hard-swinging jazz powerhouse. The deeply bluesy, highly energetic trio dates permanently ignited the modern soul-jazz idiom.
