ejp626 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 A copy just turned up at HiFi Records, and I snagged it. I'll probably listen to it tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Getting play on KNTU. Sounds good so far. Was put off by how they did "Can't Hide Love", but got over it by the track's end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 And Greg Rockingham has what must be the definitive resume for an organ drummer: Drummer Greg Rockingham began playing when he was just three years old and debuted as a professional musician at age five in his father's jazz ensemble. An alumnus of the famed Interlochen Arts Academy and Northeastern University, Greg has performed or recorded with a wide range of famous names, including the orchestras of Glenn Miller and Guy Lombardo, vocalists Freddie Cole, Patty Page and Jerry Vale and instrumentalists Nat Adderley, Kenny Burrell, Charles Earland and Ellis Marsalis. http://deepblueorgantrio.com/bio2.html Just kidding - cat's obviously a pro and ain't afraid to go after some bucks. Hell yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheldonm Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 (edited) I'm going to see them tomorrow, backing up Fathead Newman !!! Will post photos sometime next week! Won't be Broom on guitar but Henry Johnson. Edited January 1, 2005 by sheldonm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 A very fine album - wonder why they didn't record any sooner. Broom gets better and better as an organ combo player - and his choice of pop tunes and the way he treats them is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundog Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 From The Deep Blue Organ Trio Wesite... (see link above) Goin' To Town! 01/25/06 We're in post production, mixing and editing our new CD/DVD which we recorded live at the Green Mill in Chicago. We're getting more and more excited as it comes together. We think you're gonna like it. Keep checking in here for the official release date, but for now expect it sometime this spring. Press Kits On-Line- For an electronic press kit for the group, visit www.sonicbids.com/deepblue (see links on 'Audio' page) Let me be the first to react to this wonderful news with a resounding.... HELL YEAH!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazaro Vega Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Don't get me wrong there were things about the first record that I really loved, and it is a hellofa cookin' band who I was happy to promote on the air when they've come into Michigan, but the first recording lacked focus in it's approach. As in, let's put everything we can do on a single disc, rather than make one disc of the BEST thing they can do, another disc from a second aspect, etc. A little scattershot as an album.

Like the band, have not heard the disc but this is a frequent problem when musicians have control of the "package". A fair number of good artists have sunk themselves 'cause they had "control".

cannonball-addict Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I DJed a party tonight for an hour (rotating DJs - different styles) and I played Willow Weep For Me from this and kids to adults of all ages (18 - 88) REALLY DUG IT. Way to go Chris, Bobby, and Greg! Your music stood the test of being danceable. Matt P.S. Usually it ain't good if you can't dance to it.

I don't disagree with any of that. I guess it's just a matter of degree. For me, the quality of the playing overcomes those "problems" making it one hell of a good time record that also has quite a bit of depth musically.

Soul Stream Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Personally, I'd recommend Bobby Broom's own "Modern Man" recording with Dr. Lonnie Smith, Ronnie Cuber and Idris Muhammed as one of the best organ jazz records done in recent memory. Bobby Broom is a killer and he really shines on Modern Man along with the rest of the great lineup. Props to Delmark for putting it out. Would like to see another.

sheldonm Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 ...I really like Bobby's playing as well. I've known him for a couple years, great guy! Here are a couple photographs I made of him in at the Jazz Kitchen in Indy and the Monterey Jazz Festival. m~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazaro Vega Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 Like I said, don't get me wrong. But it would have been nice to have an album of material such as "willow weep for me" and another album of new standards and soul classics such as the Prince tune, or "It Was A Very Good Year." They have range, but rather than try to show it all on one disc it may have been more effective over several. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
