Paul Moran - Smokin B3, Vol. 2: Still Smokin' (2017)

Paul Moran high energy Hammond B3 organ Paul Moran – SMOKIN’ B3, VOL. 2 STILL SMOKIN’: I make “new” musical discoveries every single day (with the help of some excellent promoters, I might add)… Paul’s latest album is one of those, to be sure… in addition to his excellent Hammond organ work, he also plays trumpet & flugelhorn; the instruments & players in support of this marvelous music are – Electric and Acoustic Guitar- Nigel Price, Electric Bass- Laurence Cottle, Drums- Mez Clough, Percussion- Michael Osbourne, Electric Guitar- Jim Mullen Drums Adam Roman, Percussion- Jeff Scantlebury… just listen to the high-energy performance on Paul’s original composition, “Ruby Blues“, & you’ll be rockin’ right along with him & his krew in only a couple of bars. (the samples should go HOT on the release date, 29 September, 2017).

The group’s performance on the classic Adderley jazz piece “The Work Song” is an absolute “smash hit” here at Zzaj Productions studios, & will be smokin’ my iPhone every day, no doubt… Paul’s B3 is at full-bore from note one on this tune… absolutely the best rendition of the tune I’ve heard (yet)!

To hear Paul’s “multi-instrumentalist side”, be sure and listen to “Scallywag“, right at the 2:10 mark when his horn kicks in… another superb piece of jazz that will (most pleasantly) burn the house down.

It’s another Moran original that got my vote for personal favorite of the eleven tracks offered up for your aural enjoyment… “Fried Chicken” only clocks in at 4:39, so I’ll have to use the “replay” button on the iPhone a lot… ultra-cool jazz! I give Paul & his crew a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an “EQ” (energy quotient) rating of 4.99 for this splendid release. Get more information on Paul’s website.
