The Posi-tone label is turning out to be one of the best sources for old school Hammond sessions these days – and this sweet set from guitarist Will Bernard is great proof of that fact! Bernard plays with a tight sense of line and color that really takes us back to some of our favorites from the 60s – like Grant Green or Kenny Burrell – and he’s set up here alongside some excellent Hammond from Brian Charette, who has a great ear for mixing up playful phrasing and a more powerful groove – a bit like Jack McDuff on late 60s Prestige, but very much his own bag too! The group’s also got tenor and bass clarinet from John Ellis, and drums from Rudy Royston – and titles include a cover of “Dancing Days”, plus “Dime Store Thriller”, “Go West”, “Sweet Spot”, “PM Gone”, and “Route 46”.
