Kossi Gardner: Organ- Nashville Style

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

this lp is really interesting, its a groovin' classic jazz b3 organ sound but in the context of the "nashville sound"...country organ. never heard anything like this before!

[The Magnificent Goldberg]

Well, I'm back!

Hey, this is interesting. I never heard of this album. Kossie recorded with David Newman on the 'House of David" album (Atlantic). He made two LOs under his own name, as far as I know, and I've never seen either of them. They were 'Modern as tomorrow' on White House and 'Pipes of blue' on Dot.

He must be the most unknown organist ever. Even Lionel Pillay is better known

Holy Craps,

I remember when Kossi Gardner was playing with Roy Ayers or vice versa (both unknown at the time) back in Los Angeles on Adams Blvd. at a little hole in the wall (can't remember the name of the place). It was near Crenshaw Blvd. I always wondered what happened to him after Roy got discovered. At that time I thought and felt that Kossi and Roy was a beautiful combination and playing some very beautiful groovin' music.

Oh well, guess I gave my age away didn't I?? smile. Those were some good ol' days.
