Hard to think of anyone who will dislike this set.
author: Bruce Crowther
The continuing popularity of the organ-guitar-trio format brings together elements of hard grooving sounds of the 1960s and the smoother stylish effects of recent years. The result is often good, sometimes more so. This set is particularly attractive in that it has these two basic elements not only in musical terms but also in personnel. Guitarist Kyle Asche is a young musician who has been active in Chicago for the past decade while his principal partner here is Melvin Rhyne, a veteran organist whose jazz cv ranges from 1950s dates with Rahsaan Roland Kirk through 1960s sessions with Wes Montgomery to leadership of his own bands in which he teamed with artists such as Blue Mitchell and Brian Lynch. The third member of this band is drummer George Fludas, who has worked with jazzmen such as Ray Brown and Cedar Walton. The combined experience of these three men is such that an excellent CD is offered to the many fans, both old and young, of this kind of music. Two of the tracks are compositions by Kyle, with four from Melvin alongside pieces such as Luiz Bonfa's 'Gentle Rain' and Charlie Shavers' 'Swedish Schnapps'. Hard to think of anyone who will dislike this set.
