Jim Alfredson Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Thanks, Tom! I've ordered a copy of the magazine, but any chance of someone being kind enough to type it up here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom in RI Posted July 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 (edited) Evidently a takeoff on the musical term pianissimo, the smart trio Organissimo is comprised of three relatively young musicians and based around the Detroit area. As hinted in the album's title, the bulk of the material is boogaloo-oriented, but tunes like the walking "Jimmy Smith Goes to Washington", the moody "Life Wish", the 6/8-ish "Young's Dream", and the semi-samba "Pre-Dawn Rain" replete with brushes and classical guitar serve to keep listeners on their toes. Organist Jim Alfredson and guitarman Joe Gloss are responsible for all nine numbers either together or seperately. Ron Blake adds his grainy tenor to three cuts and the punchy finale "Decoder" allows seasoned drummer Randy Marsh to work out at length. Organ afficionados should consider this a red alert.
