Texas Tenor and a Hammond B-3 Pioneer Swing Out ! April 30, 2000
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Wild Bill Davis made the organ swing. Jimmy made it groove and grind. When Hammond/Tenor Trios come to mind, probably names like those, and Jack McDuff, Shirley Scott and others come to mind. If youre really hip to the Hammond, heck you might even remember Milt Buckner playing with Illinois Jacquet (a name that often comes to mind alongside Arnett Cobb), but Ill bet you dont know the organist on this one. - - Austin Mitchell. Yet Austins career predates almost all these cats. He was one of the first - - and very few people have heard of him, mainly because he kinda stayed local in Philly and didnt record much. In fact, this may be your only chance to hear this pioneer in action. - - Its a very different style than your used to. I had the pleasure of not only meeting Austin Mitchell, but him coming to my pad, sitting down at my organ and blowing me away, completely - - especially in his ability to connect chords and actually play the pedals (contrary to popular rumor, Jimmy Smith style organists use their left hand to play bass lines. The pedal, if used at all is secondary. For the old timers, this was kind of sacreligious, because they needed that left hand to play those thick and greasy chords. Listen to him comp ! ! !)This album swings majorly, however, the Hammond Playing is the vibrato heavy Hammond of a long bygone era. Youll have to get used to it, but once you do you will enjoy this heavy swinging blowing session. (There is a bass player incidently, but never mind that... this is still some heavy B-3 playing and blowing.) So stick a coin in the juke box, turn up the heat and get ready for some toe tapping soulful blowing ! This album will put you out of breath.
