The trio of organ, guitar and drums is one of the standard formation of trios in jazz and organist Jared Gold is a rising star on that competitive scene. On this album, he is accompanied by guitarist Ed Cherry and drummer Quincy Davis.

A string of enjoyable leader dates and some high profile work in guitarist Dave Stryker’s organ-centric groups can be credited for the steady rise in organist Jared Gold’s profile.

Cover art that quickly dispels the tired myth of judging a book by it’s cover, Spike Wilner presents an incredibly intimate and somewhat emotionally charged recording that breaks down the classic piano trio in the most organic of forms.

There’s something about Hammond B-3 organ trios that reminds me of spring and summer, lounging on the back porch with a cool drink. Perhaps, it’s the “burbling brook” sound some players get out of their speakers – whatever it is, the chemical reaction in my brain is quite positive.
