Customer Reviews:

Eddie Landsberg has a great memory.......2005-10-17

According to the album notes,Eddie Landsberg discovered
the unique jazz vocalist,Eddie Jefferson when he heard the classic 'The Main Man' album when he was 12,decided he wasn't a singer and eventually gravitated to the organ.'The Main' Man' is one of my favorite albums-and 'Remembering Eddie Jefferson' with
Giacomo Gates doing most of the vocals is a great tribute.

Swinging and Groovy !.......2002-10-03

If you're expecting to hear Benny's from Heaven and I'm In The Mood for love, you won't get it, and if you're expecting to hear some o.k. vocalist singing Eddie's tunes straight off his CDs, you won't get that either. Instead, hear a great ensemble lead by a brilliant deep voiced dark but swinging vocalist. What's different about this album is that instead of having all lazy tempo Jazz standards or super uptempo bebop, the thing offers a lot of variety and shows a heavy grooving and hard swinging ensemble at ease with themselves and the music. Both the cliches of vocal and organ Jazz are notably absent, as a result you can listen straight through and follow it, but without feeling like youýve heard it all before. The first two tunes are the best on the CD as well as a haunting version of Soft and Furry in which James Spaulding blows some haunting flute !

Eddie Jefferson getting his due.......2002-09-27

Terrific swinging album; Landsberg is highly into it on the Hammond B-3 organ. Giacomo Gates does vocalese in the Eddie Jefferson style with his own unique voice. His tribute song, Mr. Jefferson, could have been what Jefferson would have written about himself if he hadn't been paying tribute to his own favorites like Trane, Miles, Bird, Bean and Moody. Here Gates does Jefferson's takes on Dexter, Bird, Moody and more.

Swinging organ and vocals.......2002-09-26

I really love Ed Landsberg's swinging new organ release. All the players really groove with the hammond organ. The land of Oh Bla Dee is one of my favorites, and Things are getting better will lift your spirits regardless of the mood your in. The solos are really alive and leaves you wanting more. After all their all heavy cats and veteran players. Its a real tribute to Jefferson the way Giacomo scats and has a unique style of phrasing. Bring us more if your grooving organ licks Ed and heavy bass lines. I recommend this CD to all organ lovers. It Swings man!
