Jim Alfredson Posted April 21, 2003 Report Posted April 21, 2003 To all of you who have purchased the CD, thank you very much. We appreciate it. Having no label to back us what-so-ever, we made that CD using our own money as a labor of love. If you haven't checked it out yet, please do yourself a favor a buy a copy. Just go to the ordering page and order yourself a copy. You'll dig it, I promise! And how about posting your quick reviews here, those of you who've bought one. Entice the fellow board members to take the plunge! Thanks and enjoy! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted April 22, 2003 Report Posted April 22, 2003 What Jim said. I mean it - this is how people eat, pay rent, run websites, etc. AND it is GREAT MUSIC. Don't hesitate. You win. Quote
Stefan Wood Posted April 22, 2003 Report Posted April 22, 2003 I took the plunge -- don't hesitate! Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted April 22, 2003 Author Report Posted April 22, 2003 You guys rool. By all means, please post your impressions here, good or bad. We love feedback. Thank you! Quote
pryan Posted April 23, 2003 Report Posted April 23, 2003 Just put my order/money order in the mailbox a couple of hours ago. I probably won't get it for a while but I will report back when I do. I'm really looking forward to hearing it; the sound clips have intrigued me a lot. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted April 24, 2003 Report Posted April 24, 2003 I got my copy a while back. I just thought it was a cool way to say thanks to B3-er and the gang, but the joke was on me: it's a damned good CD! I don't want to give anyone a swelled head (and don't mean to neglect Jim and Randy's excellent work on the disc!), but Joe Gloss rises on my list of favorite guitartists every time I put this in the player! Get it for them, if that what it takes, but you'll enjoy it for yourself! Quote
JohnS Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Just arrived and it's very, very, tasty. Quote
randissimo Posted April 26, 2003 Report Posted April 26, 2003 Just arrived and it's very, very, tasty. Glad you like it! Thank you for purchasing a copy... Quote
Joe G Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Thank you once again to everyone for the orders and the compliments. We very much appreciate the support, both the financial and the emotional. This post will also serve to usurp the Happy Birthday JoeG thread on the main board index. (But thanks again for that Jeff.) Quote
Jazzmoose Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Oh my god...I'm thick as a brick! I just realized who "randissimo" was...duh! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted May 2, 2003 Report Posted May 2, 2003 Sorry Joe, I didn't think the birthday post would sit up there so long. It's like you had a multi-day birthday. I'll chime in - If you haven't bought the Organissimo cd, you're missing out. It's really enjoyable. I wish we could do it as the album of the week, but I'm not sure how many people have it. :rsmile: Quote

Jim Alfredson Posted May 2, 2003 Author Report Posted May 2, 2003 If you do it as an "AOTW" then make sure to give notice at least two weeks in advance... that way people will have time to order it and for CDStreet to ship it. Quote
pryan Posted May 3, 2003 Report Posted May 3, 2003 I hope to receive my copy sometime in the first half of next week. Looking forward to hearing it! Quote
mr jazz Posted May 6, 2003 Report Posted May 6, 2003 (edited) I like the way the band avoided that over the top playing that many b3 players think is the ultimate. Laid back and a good grove always work. Joe's guitar work is especially fine; however there are no slackers here. Production is outstanding for a small budget (I guess) cd. Hope you guys can come to DC sometime. maybe Bertrand can sponsor a show Edited May 6, 2003 by mr jazz Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted May 6, 2003 Author Report Posted May 6, 2003 Thank you, Mr. Jazz. Small budget, yes! Under $5k. I'm glad you enjoy it. I appreciate the comment about not playing over the top. No penny rolls on the top C key here. Quote
randissimo Posted May 14, 2003 Report Posted May 14, 2003 (edited) Chalk up another sale. Pretty soon you guys will be rolling in drugs and groupies. Thanks Ghost.. It's getting good airplay in Mich and nationwide every weekend on Wilke's show. We just need to get the CD in the right hands. We need magazine publicity, good distribution, a good manager, and GIGS! We really want to get out in the world and play!! Right now we're only working one Tuesday a month in GR Michigan and Cds sales have slowed down. I think some people hearing us on the radio don't know who we are or how to get our Cd.. Edited May 14, 2003 by randissimo Quote
pryan Posted May 14, 2003 Report Posted May 14, 2003 Just arrived and it's very, very, tasty. I positively agree with this statement. I've spun this disc about three times thru since receiving it on Monday and must say it's a great debut album. Some hip playing by all involved, especially Joe. I really like the Jimmy Smith tune, it's got a cool bridge/channel? to it; that section seems to bring out even more superlative playing from Jim and Joe in their solos. 'Life Wish' has definitely grown on me; at first it seemed dull but after repeated listenings I noticed deeper stuff going on. Love the two funkier tunes in the middle of the track order too: 'Blake's Shake' and 'You Don't Want To Do That'. Anyone who's on the fence about this one should, as Chuck says, do themselves (and Organissimo) a favor and check it out. Great work, lads! Quote

HeHe...."Some hip playing by all involved", is good enough for me....... Thanks for the nice review pryan. I'm glad you're enjoying the CD. "Life Wish" does grow on people. There's a tune Pat Metheny would probably be interested in... Quote
pryan Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 Shit, I was going to add that the drummer was no slouch either. Sorry about the ommision, Randy. Quote
.:.impossible Posted May 15, 2003 Report Posted May 15, 2003 I ordered a copy today, but I'm sending it to my wife as a gift for finishing her first year of law school... we all win! tee hee. She loves guitar/organ/drum trios. I can't wait to hear it! Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted May 16, 2003 Report Posted May 16, 2003 Shit, I was going to add that the drummer was no slouch either. Sorry about the ommision, Randy. Ah, forget it. Randy plays drums like the son of a tenor player! Quote
