Synopsis

Album Description
When artists are able to simultaneously marry the concepts of simple and complex, intellectual and spiritual, ancient and future; those are some of the best moments of all. This new recording by the Deep Blue Organ Trio captures that spirit, in the moment, in front of an enthusiastic crowd at Chicago?s Green Mill, where the band has played weekly since April of 2003. Providing that connection to the soul and the spirit, of course, is the blues. This is sophisticated music with soul and thus a part of that great legacy that has given us everyone from Charlie Parker to John Coltrane to Ornette Coleman. We shouldn?t forget that those three innovators (and so many more) were masters of the blues language, and that feeling permeated even their most advanced musical adventures. A true musical collective Deep Blue has managed to take the best from all of those worlds (and more) and fuse them together in one cohesive and satisfying group sound. Complete notes enclosed by Joe Moore, KFSR, Fresno, CA.
 

CD Reviews

Deeply Blue

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Oh no, not another live organ trio album!



Except this one is different. That's primarily because Chris Foreman on the B-3 is not your run of the mill organ pounder. He plays a tasteful, melodic groove, not the heavy-handed, all too familiar B-3 dirge you hear from so many of his contemporaries. Plus his bandmates follow suit, complementing him with controlled but swinging voicings. This includes guitarist Bobby Broom, who may not be your prototypical top tier guitar technician, but who plays within himself, lyrically and thoughfully, blending in nicely with his bandmates.



What emerges is a tight, melodic performance. The whole effort is enhanced by an appreciative audience that has the good taste to allow the band to do the "talking" and not compete with the grooves.



This is a very enjoyable outing before a very fortunate audience."
