randissimo Posted March 17, 2003 Report Posted March 17, 2003 Whoops!! You know I love that tune! We gotta try it sometime on a gig with the nylon string guitar... Don't let Metheny hear it, he'll want to play it!! Quote
Matthew Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Received my copy today, and I must say, I love this cd. Has a nice, tight sound, and it's obvious that a lot of creativity went into Waiting for the Boogaloo Sisters... Put me down on the I love "Life Wish" side, had a great vibe to it, Joe Gloss does great things on this cut. Marsh is also outstanding, keeping everyone in line. I'll be spending a lot of time listening to this over the next couple days, along with my other fav of the moment... The Dropper . Congratulations to Jim, Joe, and Randy for a fantastic first effort.

Joe G Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Thanks Matthew. Yours is the kind of post I'd like to frame Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 18, 2003 Author Report Posted March 18, 2003 Thanks, Matthew. A very kind review. Everybody is entitled to their opinions. I recall that Randy's mom isn't a big fan of Lifewish either. Oh well! Quote

I recall that Randy's mom isn't a big fan of Lifewish either. Oh well! that's because Randy's mom heard "Life Wish" in the rough mix stage on a crappy boombox... Quote
Jazzmoose Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Shoot. This was a mistake. I didn't want to read this thread until I ordered the disc because I didn't want to build up the anticipation. Now I realize I shouldn't have read it until I received the disc. This is going to be a hell of a long "3-4 days" until delivery! Quote
Soul Stream Posted March 18, 2003 Report Posted March 18, 2003 Moms. Was playing some Don Wilkerson in the car the other night while driving my Mom to her house. She commented on each song as it started. "Oh, l like this one..." and so on. Until they played a slow blues..."Oh, I DON'T like this. Boring" So I guess it's not just the young who hate the blues. "Lifewish," or a slow blues by Wilkerson. Let's face it neither one has WORDS! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted March 18, 2003 Author Report Posted March 18, 2003 Randy's mom is cool! She just heard an "unfinished" mix that was dull and "Lifeless". I'm sure she'd dig the tune now! Quote

Jazzmoose Posted March 21, 2003 Report Posted March 21, 2003 Got it earlier today, Jim. I was listening without reading the jacket, and one song just blew me away. I should have know after reading the above that it was Lifewish. Damn fine guitar! The whole disc is awesome. I have to admit, it's different from what I expected, or rather what I feared. Good stuff, and it doesn't remind me of other stuff, you know what I mean? Original and cool! Quote

Good stuff, and it doesn't remind me of other stuff, you know what I mean? Original and cool! Mark, We're really trying to do something different with the organ trio. I don't want to be another Jimmy Smith imitator. That's cool and all, but there are cats that can do it much better than me. Your comments are very helpful... it looks like we're succeeding in our goals. Joe is a bad mofo. But he's bad in a subtle way. That's what I love about his playing! Thank you for your purchase and your comments! Spread the word, brotha! Quote
Joe G Posted March 22, 2003 Report Posted March 22, 2003 Thank you Mark, and Jim! Your posts made my day. Quote
Theo Posted March 24, 2003 Report Posted March 24, 2003 What knocks me out on the CD is the quality of composition, as well as the complete tightness of the trio. First class stuff, guys. Keep it up. Quote
Alec Posted March 26, 2003 Report Posted March 26, 2003 Just wanted to add my 2 cents. Great CD! While its nice to support people you know, (well at least through the board), you can't really be sure of getting anything of quality. Not in this case! I would have bought it on first listen. Now if you would just tour in New Hampshire! Thanks again for the great music and I look forward to more! Quote
randissimo Posted March 26, 2003 Report Posted March 26, 2003 Now if you would just tour in New Hampshire! We'd love to come out there and play! Can you hook us up? ...Maybe some Jazz education clinics, workshops, a concert, maybe a lounge or tavern that features eclectic music.... Quote
AfricaBrass Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 I just received my Organissimo cd. I've only had a chance to listen to the first two tracks, but I am really impressed. All three of you play your asses off. I can't wait to hear the rest! Quote
Joe G Posted March 31, 2003 Report Posted March 31, 2003 Excellent. Don't forget the easter egg hunt. Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted April 17, 2003 Author Report Posted April 17, 2003 Africa Brass, Would you mind sharing your thoughts on the record now that you've had it for awhile? Quote
AfricaBrass Posted April 17, 2003 Report Posted April 17, 2003 Thanks for asking B3-er! I don't have the cd with me right now, but when I do I'll sit down and write out my impressions. What I will say now is how much I am impressed by your individual playing on the cd. One thing my favorite albums have in common is that I can lock into what each of the different musicians is playing and enjoy the album on different levels. I feel the same way about your cd. Sometimes I just get really into the drums, other times really into the organ, etc..., and overall it's a great listen when I just focus on the whole thing. As a guitarist, I'm really impressed by Joe's playing. I don't know if this would be an accurate statement, but the first impression I had was this album is how it would sound if someone like Pat Metheny was playing in a smoking organ trio. I bought the cd because I appreciated what you had done in creating this board and I the mp3 files sounded good on this site. I was very surprised by how much I liked the album. You know how it is when you hear your friend's band. Usually, you try to find something to like about it. In Organissimo's case, I would dig this record even if I didn't know (or like) you guys. It really smokes. I don't know why people are buying Soulive when they can be buying your cd. If Tomatbluenote checks into this board, I would HIGHLY recommend he order a copy and then sign you guys up. :rsmile: Quote
