Thanks for a great O.G.D. trio share! This is the trio format that I like the most.

Very well played all the way by all three guys.

And the recording quality is very good! With the emphasis on close-up and nearness. I like this approach to recording.

I wonder though why they did choose to bury the organ bass lines too deep in the mix? They could have notched the organ bass up some dB and it would have been of great difference to the better. E.g from 2m55sec to 3m10sec in the nice swinging version of 'These Foolish Thing' it's clearly evident that the organ player pays his tribute to 'Groove' Holmes in the walking bass department, but the bass volume is too low to get the effect through.

Anyway, this is a great, solid O.G.D record all the way!

Thanks again :-)

I've always wanted to check these guys out, so thanks BEEQ!


DBOT is great. These guy have a very finely tuned sense of swing, and yeah, the near-miking technique does add real nice sense of “you’re-in-the-room” immediacy to the proceedings.

Thanks again!
