Groove: Blue

Steve Smith & Vinnie Valentino from legendary fusion group Vital Information hooked up at a post gig jam in Jakarta with unsung hero of the B3 hammond Tony Monaco. They hit off, so when date threw them together at a session near to Monaco's pad, they recorded, old-style, straight off the bat, this tribute to the classic Blue Note organ trios of the 60s. These true musos inject effortlessly this 50 year old sound into their own compositions, adding a few specially arranged jazz standards along the way such as the legendary 1958 Miles Davis classic version of "On Green Dolphin Street" which Smith s zestful drumming gives a distinct Latin feeling; Ray Nobles 'Cherokee' is gently modernised with a funky groove; Nat King Cole s immortal 'It's Only A Paper Moon' from the Broadway musical 'The Great Magoo' retains a timeless swing but with a walking pedal bass from the Hammond organ; they wind down with a gentle version of 'That's All', an unforgettable ballad from the Great American Songbook.
