Album Notes

Oh yes, Raphael plays a dynamic brand of B-3, his passion commensurate with his technique and his creative intelligence. He’s a high-voltage dynamo but also a musician of surprising delicacy and self-reflection. Call him one of the finest blues/jazz/soul B-3 operators anywhere. (FRANK-JOHN HADLEY, DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE/USA)

Raphael Wressnig picks up influences of the legendary Soul-Jazz organists and creates his very own explosive and yet elegant organ style. He draws from the rich Hammond tradition but adds an own view and sound. With his "Organic Trio" he is reshaping the classic organ trio sound and defining new directions. "Raphael Wressnig is one of the contemporary masters of the mighty Hammond B3 organ. Raphael's big sound is based as much on what he doesn't play as on what he does, and the result is seriously funky." (NORMAN DARWAN, BLUES MATTERS/UK) Powerful, modern Soul - Jazz
