Blicher,Michael Blicher Hemmer Gadd CD

2014 release from the power-house tenor/organ combo featuring the legendary drummer Steve Gadd with Michael Blicher (saxophones, flute) & Dan Hemmer (Hammond organ). The music of Danish saxophonist Michael Blicher is classic jazz funk flavored with the soulful sounds of tenor saxophone and Hammond organ. This album features live tracks from various venues on their tour of Scandinavia, all the compositions are by Michael Blicher, with the exception of "In a Little Spanish Town" by Mabel Wayne, and "Like It Is" by Yusef Lateef. Blicher & Hemmer work with a number of different group combinations, but this is their debut as a trio with the US drummer, Steve Gadd. A chance encounter and a shared love of tenor/organ combos of the 60s and 70s lead the three to join forces for the tour of Scandinavia, the highlights of which can be heard on this excellent CD.
