Album Notes & Community Reviews
Steering his signature Hammond B-3 organ into more progressive waters, the veteran bandleader incorporates modal structures and aggressive rhythmic variations. The inclusion of heavily amplified, forward-thinking guitar work ensures the session pushes well beyond the standard parameters of the traditional organ combo.
