Dealin’ Wid It (5:35) • 5. Minor Worm (6:46) 7. Samba Cat (6:16) • 10. Hurt So Bad (5:42) Called by Mozart “The King of the Instruments,” the organ went from sacred to salacious when it left the church and began turning up in jazz clubs in the 1950s. It was at that time that the model B-3 organ was assimilated into the jazz line-up and became a sought-after solo instrument. Its hipper-than-hip tone color and thumping bass pedals defined an instrumental sound that mesmerizes the instrument's aficionados to this very day. Pittsburgh-born Bill Heid knows the B-3's history well and his playing ranges from the boppish to the bodacious. From 1965 into the late 70's, he worked the "chitlin' clubs" in Baltimore, Newark, Detroit and Chicago, often with greats like Sonny Stitt, David "Fathead" Newman, Mickey Roker, Roger Humphries, Henry Johnson, Jimmy Ponder and Peter Bernstein. Heid himself penned all but one of the tunes, with all of them channeling the musical spirits of such Hammond luminaries as Don Patterson, “Big” John Patton, “Baby Face” Willette, Larry Young, Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff. The album closes with a too-cool-for-school reading of “Hurt So Bad,” which looks back with a knowing glance to the Richard “Groove” Holmes version. Throughout the 10 tracks, the band plays with a soulful feeling, a great sense of ensemble and no small amount of infectious joy – drummer Randy Gelispie hits exactly the right mix of blues and swing, with his relaxed, in-the-pocket feel, and Perry Hughes on guitar ties things together with his own thoughtful style in his imaginative and satisfying solo breaks.

This I Dig of You (6:26) 5. Airegin (5:28) 8. This Is New (6:43) 9. Yardbird Suite (6:24) Alan Broadbent is one of New Zealand's favorite musical sons and perhaps the most well-known and multi-talented of them all. Many are familiar with his arranging and conducting for Sir Paul McCartney, Diana Krall, Pat Metheny and Michael Bublé. Others may know Broadbent has received 8 Grammy nominations and won 2 Grammy Awards for Best Orchestral Arrangement Accompanying a Vocal, one for Natalie Cole and one for Shirley Horn. On Like Minds, Broadbent takes a seat on the piano bench for his third Savant recording with his trio featuring the great bassist Harvie S and the colorful drumming of Billy Mintz. Together these men play with notable clarity and poise, and their performances – even those of familiar standards – are wonderfully tuneful, sometimes whimsical and often moving, with the overall effect always coming across as coolly engaging and totally spontaneous. “I'm averse to playing what I jokingly call 'big band trio arrangements,' where everybody plays the rhythmic hits,” Broadbent explains. “I'll get a big band if I want to do that. For me, for the trio, I want it to change every time.” Spontaneous and off-the-cuff these 9 tracks may be but the closer you listen, the more inventive and exquisitely crafted they sound, with the recording showing that, without a doubt, these three superb musicians are of like minds indeed.

I picked up Hollywood Madness when it was new. Perhaps everyone's experience was different, but I wasn't seeing better music in the record stores at that time. It wasn't that I was a big fan, but I saw him as a keeper of the flame in those days.

I've wanted J.J. Jackson's Dilemma for quite some time, because Dick Morrissey, Dave Quincy and Terry Smith were in the band.

Almost all of my offers have been rejected. I've been thinking about keeping track of their sale prices, and then offering one at a future date.
