HAMMOND EGGS
Genres: Soul Jazz, Classic Fusion • Germany

From Germany comes a grooving trio molded in the classic HammondB-3 /Guitar / Drums format. While the band´s previous disc honored the deep, bluesy swinging mode of it´s heritage, this latest outing expands the groove palette, mixing an extra dose of funk with Latin touches, all slyly mixed within a framework of daunting odd meters. Avoiding fusion bookishness, the trio keeps the good grit intact. Organist Jermaine Landsberger wields serious chops and encapsulates his instrument´s history. Christoph Huber´s cracking drumming keeps the energy to the edge and smoothly oils the odd meters while guitarist Paulo Morello is a seamless keyboard complement woh percolates every solo. Star guests include trumpeter Randy Brecker, saxophonist Bob Mintzer and Hungarian tenor notable Tony Lakatos, who all throw heated solos on the skillet. Sizzling! from http://hammond-eggs.net
