Hammond Eggs Meets Randy Brecker [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Jermaine Landsberger & Paulo Morello & Christoph Huber - Hammond Eggs Meets Randy Brecker This album features Landsberger, Morello & Huber on a special mission to revive the distinctive sound of the legendary Hammond-B3 plus guitar. For this new production, the three musicians expanded the rhythms of their musical language, incorporating jazz- rock and funk. While, on their first album, they presented modern, swinging Hammond jazz, here they are juggling with odd and straight meters and are overlapping rhythms deriving from encounters with jazz improvisation and the funky rhythmic intensity of hot rock. Having Randy Brecker to join them, they had the benefit of the most sought-after and ideal jazz musician for this project. This excellent trumpet and flugelhorn player, who, together with his style-setting, tenor saxophonist brother, Michael (1949-2007), formed the famous "Brecker Brothers" group, had re-mixed the fusion and jazz-rock sound and had played and recorded with various greats, such as Horace Silver, George Benson, Frank Zappa and Lou Reed. Jermaine Landsberger has transposed his highly accomplished and stimulating melodic piano style to the Hammond B3. His début on the Resonance label, together with guitar legend, Pat Martino, caused a sensation in the US media: "Originally a guitarist as well as a pianist, Landsberger focused more recently on the Hammond organ, on which he absolutely burns" (guitarplayer. Com). With numerous Brazilian jazz projects Paulo Morello enjoys an excellent standing as one of Europe's most versatile guitarists. His distinctive and expressive style is certainly influenced by the legendary jazz guitarists, Joe Pass, George Benson and Mike Stern. His switch to Hammond organ came in 2004, when Morello was a sideman with the legendary Jimmy Smith on his European tour. Christoph Huber, the drummer and a former sideman with Sheila Jordan, Jeff Cascaro and Torsten Goods, among others, makes an impressive contribution to the sounds of "Hammond Eggs", mastering complex rhythms and playing with an animated funkiness.
