Dr. Lonnie Smith quote
I really was thinking Jimmy Smith but it just always came out different
Rusell Malone quote
I’ve always felt that jazz is the way in which something is done. The material can come from anywhere — what makes it jazz is the way you approach it.

Jimmy & Wes/Tony & Pat
The Hammond Jazz Inventory announced this concert and I went to see it. I'm happy I did, let me tell you about it. On the one hand, Tony Monaco & Pat Martino deserve a much larger venue and audience. (Whenever they come back to the Netherlands they ought to play in the Bimhuis). On the other (hand), the intimacy of a small club (150 people there, to the max) with world's top musicians performing with so much energy is an unique experience. Most of the concert was a tribute to the music of Wes Montgomery, who did two recordings with Jimmy Smith of which the first is called Jimmy & Wes, the dynamic duo.
Believe me, Pat & Tony are a dynamic duo too. Supported by Louis Tsamous on drums - whose embedded short solo's are just right for me - they created a perfect Hammond jazz night in a classic guitar/organ/drums trio setting. It's amazing what three musicians with a dedication can do. To me the whole evening was a feast but I have to admit I have a weak spot for "Road song" that also appears on Further adventures of Jimmy and Wes. I hope Tony & Pat will have further adventures. And if so, I'd like to witness.
Thank you Merlijn, for the pictures. Back0 comments., write a comment |
