Organissimo - Waiting For The Boogaloo Sisters & Dedicated & Live at the Speakez (2003-2017)

The debut album "Waiting For The Boogaloo Sisters..." features all original songs and the brilliant work of Ron Blake on tenor saxophone and flute. It won the 2003 WYCE Jammie Award for Best Jazz Album and was named one of the Best Releases of 2003 by Jim Wilke's Jazz After Hours program, syndicated on over 60 NPR stations nationwide. As Cadence magazine wrote, "Organ aficionados should consider this a red alert."

organissimo returns to the studio with a stunning collection of soul jazz for modern ears. Loaded with greasy grooves, funky swirling Hammond organ, and gutsy guitar, Dedicated expands on the organissimo sound with new textures and a bold new focus. The spotlight is on groove and Dedicated delivers.

Featuring 10 new original songs and 1 very funky cover, Dedicated is laid-back, swinging, jazz with soul and a decidely groove orientated bent. The disc opens up with the high-energy Randiculous, showcasing organissimo's trademark tight interplay. Other highlights include the spacey intro Omen which seamlessly flows into the dedication to organist Jim Alfredson's beloved daughters, the waltz Three Sisters. Gotcha Back is a modern funk-fueled classic, like a new Caddy, while the burner Patterson's People (dedicated to jazz great Don Patterson) swings like mad and the offbeat flow of Up In The Playroom is as lively as it's title suggests.
