The horn section together with the organ and drums remind at the first
glance former trios and quartets which were typical in the 60's and 70's.
They enjoy a revival nowadays, which Lou Donaldson with Lonnie Smith is a
famous example of.
But Don Braden and his men go beyond what we are used to. Their music
sets a new boundary what concerns harmonics and rhythms. Kyle Koehler,
an organist fairly new on the scene, fully coincides with Don's musical
targets, borrowing stylistic elements of Larry Young and - with certain
limits - Larry Goldings. Nevertheless, there is a fine approach to a
style of his own, not so much grooving (as the author of the liner notes
means, GROOVE seems to be the secret key for pushing sales of the CDs),
more experimenting new sound figures. Without any doubt, this CD is an
interesting experience.
