RAPHAEL WRESSNIG: Committed (ZYX Music)
Spotify
The Hammond B-3 has always been an unusual musical beast. Weighing around 200 kilograms and having its own history in jazz, blues, soul, R&B, Latin boogaloo. The new album by Austrian organist Raphael Wressnig combines all of these essences, pays tribute to the masters of the Hammond B-3 – Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jimmy McGriff and Jack McDuff, and throws a real party for fans of the unique sound of the organ. Together with Raphael Wressnig, on the album Committed we also hear the real cats – Austrian drummer Hans-Jürgen Bart and Italian guitarist Enrico Crivellaro. All three sound super tight together, but the leader on the album is still Wressnig, who once again demonstrates a fantastic organ control technique. He feels most free and dizzying in the rhythm of the boogaloo, as can be heard, for example, in the composition Shrimp Daddy. Raphael again sounds up-to-date while keeping that classic feel as well. A great album for the romance of early summer barbecue parties. Some slow burners are also included. Make it funky!
