This woman can really groove at the mighty jazz organ. She is very, very good!
The recording is of the highest quality. Everything is clearly audible.
In my opinion the vocal tracks are not as strong as the instrumentals.
My favourite track is the first one, the 'Ladybug'. Here she is using a lot of different ways of playing the jazz organ: different ways of left hand walking bass (syncopated and 'regular' eight notes, etc) and different right hand techniques and sounds. All very tastefully presented.
The guitar solo is also very good. At one moment he borrows a few seconds from 'Summertime' :-)
Thanks BeeQ!

Thanks BeeQ and thanks for the comments JOF.Certainly a great new breed of organists coming through.
Hey BeeQ,
Thanks for sharing this one with us - I'm looking forward to giving it a spin.
By the way, the new sunny-yellow layout is just super, it's a-buzzin' with vibe!
Thanks again for all the musical nectar,
Guy
