This album features Melvin Rhyne with Joshua Redman, Peter Bernstein, and Kenny Washington. This line up should say it all, but this is just the swingingest B-3 group since Jimmy Smith's groups or Wes Montgomery's groups.
I have not always been a big fan of the Hammond B-3 sound. I preferred my jazz to be acoustic, but listening to Jimmy Smith and Melvin Rhyne opened this door for me. Now I listen to alot of B-3 combos.
The first song Hattush's Blues is a killer. The recording quality is excellent on Criss-Cross records is always good. By with confidence, buy with joy.
