Hi there,

Does anyone know any organ/bass/drums trio albums that are on the cooler side of things? Not looking for anything super bluesy or hard, but if it's a must-listen I'll check it out.

Was just listening to Stanley Cowell's Illusion Suite and was really into the tracks where Cowell played organ.

Thanks!

Someone who is different from the others is Larry Young, not as much blues as the others. Try his albums in the mid 60s. Check our site's entry for Young to see the albums.

Thanks!! I'm looking at an album of his that has Elvin Jones, Grant Green, Sam Rivers on it which looks like it's really gonna hit the spot.

Its funny, but I guess there weren't too many 'cool' B3 players, it definitely became an instrument for the soul jazz, hard bop and blues crowd. I'm still trying to think of some one, but nothing else yet.

Yeah it seems like my best bet will be some laid back soul jazz. This will have to be an ongoing search...

It'd be really interesting to find a modern jazz quartet style group with an organ and vibes. But I think this 'post-modern quartet' probably doesn't exist haha

"Pork Chop" and "Midnight Special" are two very laid back Jimmy Smith blues songs. "The Sermon" is a little more uptempo (not much), but it goes on for about 20 minutes which is nice.
In a Latin rock/fusion vein, there is always Santana's "Cravanserai" (sp?) album which has a lot of 'mysterious' swirling B3 courtesy of Richard Kermode, obviously influenced by Larry Young.

I don't know Pork Chop or Midnight Special but I'll check them out today. Sermon is really cool, I love a song that takes up a whole LP side.


Caravanserai is one of my favorite jazz/prog albums! Probably my favorite of Santana's. There's a lot of great organ work in prog rock.

I wonder if Charles Earland ever cooled off for an album or two.. I think he had work later in his career that was pretty subdued (and unfortunately boring..) but maybe there's a happy medium somewhere.

Another possibility is a piano guy who did a few organ albums. But that's hard to search for as well haha

I just checked out my 3 Earland albums, they are all supercharged funk/fusion/hard bop, very energetic.

Yeah definitely, I have Black Talk! (70) and Kharma (75) which are as you described. But I could have sworn I had an early 80's album that was really laid back....

Oops! I was thinking of Lonnie Liston Smith. I have a few of his later 80's albums that are.... a bit too smooth for my liking haha

In a total non-sequiter, I seem to recall that DOVE was also the name of a DEVO easy listening spin off.
