Speaking of Organs, We checked out Martin Medeski and Wood last night at
the El Mocombo in Toronto. That was one *FINE* show they did. The trio
was amazing with such a diversity of sound, rhythm, and groove, and the
organist (Medeski) was creating the most phatest notes I've ever heard
on an organ - It was as if Fat Albert and his gang were gonna walk into the
club :-) If you like organs or just a good show, definitely check them out
if you get the chance. I can, however, see how an album may be too organ
heavy. When I purchase an album, I prefer to hear a diverisity of sounds
and melody, and some albums can be biased towards one instrument, drowning
out what could be the potential of all other instruments (including voice).
If it's a few songs, that's OK, but I expect more diversity out of
compilations. But funky organs are definitely the sh**s for me :-)
