Music reviews of Giants Of The Organ In Concert
Music Review: Sublime mastery
Rating: 5 Stars
This two artists were virtually unknown to me - this CD was bought whilst browsing for the Hammond master, Mr. Jimmy Smith. The photo and the date '1973' both intrigued me so I decided to give it a try (it was also VERY cheap - though that was atually a turn-off).
What I found when I stuck it in my CD player was one of those CDs you dream about stumbling upon. The sound is VERY well mixed (even more so for a cheap CD) the performances are warm and rich in tone and variety. The two artists synch seamlessly together, as do the 'backing musicians', all sharing the musical canvas and the limelight equally. There is no rivalry evident here, and when they do go head to head (on track 6, Talk to Me) the result is 'sublime mastery' - as someone else said - the stereo is mixed so that each organist has their own channel and when you listen to track 6 you can't help but smile at the playfullness and charm these two exude.
One thing I should mention is that if you have even the slightest interest in '70s music, funk, soul, or you just love music with a capital 'G' ~ g r o o v e. Then buy this. Ironically many 'Jazz' fans ~ especially the self-appointed 'elitists' will argue this shouldn't even be filed in the jazz section... who cares. Good music is good music and this is one of the best CDs I own (I own a fair few).
The only downside to this is that there isn't nearly enough of the audience in the mix - that is unless they were sleeping...
