Album Notes

AWARD WINNING RELEASE - RATED BEST JAZZ ORGAN RECORD OF THE YEAR Red Hot Hammond B3 Organ Jazz Release Vince Seneri - The Prince's Groove www.vinceseneri.com Musicians: Vince Seneri - Hammond B3 Organ; Randy Brecker - Trumpet/Flugelhorn; Paul Bollenback - Guitar; Dave Valentin - Flute; Houston Person - Tenor Sax; Richie Flores - Percussion; Gary Fritz - Percussion; Buddy Williams - Drum CD Review - By Dick's webzine "Improvijazzation Nation."http://zzaj.freehostia.com/index.htm Our first exposure to Seneri's fantastic organ work was in issue #74, http://zzaj.freehostia.com/Z74Reviews.htm. He's out done himself on this new CD (due for a March 10th release). As always, he's got some stellar players with him, like Randy Brecker on trumpet & flugelhorn, Paul Bollenback's guitar, Dave Valentin on flute, tenor sax from Houston Person, percussion by Richie Flores and Gary Fritz & (last but not least) Buddy Williams on drums. A track title like "Dearly Beloved" would make most listeners think "ballad" (as did I), but this is one of the most scorching Hammond B3 pieces I've ever heard... & the title track, a Vince original, is some of the mellowest jazz you'll ever listen to. My favorite tune was "The Stinger", composed by Seneri... it flows with sophisticated rhythm, & highlights each player without taking away from any of them, an absolute stunner! Mr. Seneri is (as of this moment) my favorite jazz organ player, & if you love jazz organ, you'll share my sentiments there. This album gets our MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating, as well as the "PICK" of this issue for "best organ jazz.
