Have been listening to a number of Doug Webb albums recently. This one is very good indeed.

Listening-wise, I've been on a big Hammond B3 kick lately.  I love how "organ jazz" is almost a world unto itself, its own niche in the wider world of jazz.  Been a lot of fun to revisit old favorites -- and check out new stuff too.

Make sure to back up this CD. It's a cheap CD-R under that label.

I wish more of the tracks on these albums had this level of energy --

Whew!  Miss Peggy Lee and the usual gang of Capitol studio guys tear through this song in just 1:45 and kick all kinds of butt on the way!  And how much ya wanna bet that was no more than the second take, at most, for those guys?

Or as Ray’s/Colletts used to say about their stock -

‘From George Lewis to George Lewis’.

Hope you dig it Peter.

I think their other album The Devil's Interval just has the edge on this one.

Saw the band on one of their British tours. Eric's playing constantly drew admiring looks from Dave.

At a Dave O'Higgins masterclass that I went to on another occasion Dave listed Eric and Canadian Phil Dwyer among his favourite tenormen.
