<description><![CDATA[The ultimate crossover artists, Medeski, Martin and Wood bridge the gap between the New York downtown jazz scene, which features the avant-garde guru John Zorn, and the New England jam-band touring circuit, led by the popular improv-rock group Phish. And it's not hard to figure out why. Their brand of organ-trio Jazz-Funk has something in it for just about everybody. They manage to create a wide range of sounds with minimal instrumentation: chunky, Meters-esque riff-based funk; angular, Thelonious Monk-influenced jazz; sizzling Jimmy Smith-inspired organ jams; spaced-out Free Jazz musings; a dash of Acid Jazz ambience. Bassist Chris Wood and drummer Billy Martin consistently strike loose-limbed, flexible grooves, while organist John Medeski comes up with catchy riff after catchy riff, holding the particularly juicy chords for effect. Though they sometimes display their impressive chops, they're primarily groove-based improvisers, focusing on crafting a swirling, group-oriented sound.

<description><![CDATA[Funk, R&B, and rock 'n' roll all owe an enormous debt to organist Jimmy Smith. It was Smith who popularized the Hammond B-3 organ sound that made its way into every corner of American music by the '60s. He was also a deeply swinging Bop player, with blazing chops that recalled the great pianist Bud Powell. He could spin out blistering runs of sixteenth notes while simultaneously playing juicy chords with his left hand and basslines with his feet. After gigging around New York through the '50s, he got his big break with Blue Note Records in 1957. In 1963, Smith signed with Verve, recorded a number of crossover hits, and toured extensively. After a decade-long retirement beginning in the '70s, Smith started touring again. He's gone back to his roots, playing blazing Hard Bop and down-home Jazz-Funk. His latest recordings have featured many young, up-and-coming masters.

<description><![CDATA[Along with Hank Crawford, Stanley Turrentine put Soul Jazz saxophone on the map. Turrentine has a big, robust sound that excelled with both the Bop approach of Max Roach and the chicken-shack groove of Jimmy Smith. Turrentine spent the '60s as sideman for Herbie Hancock and Horace Silver, cutting solo albums for Blue Note, and in musical partnership with his (former) wife, organist Shirley Scott. In the early '70s, Turrentine's honey-drenched sound became big with the Âludes-in-the-jacuzziÂ crowd, while his first Crossover albums (such as the deeply bluesy <I>Sugar</I>) were also well-received. Luckily, Turrentine's tenor saxophone has always retained its dignity no matter what the company, and he continued to record with the finest jazz musicians and vocalists until he died of a stroke in 2000.

<description><![CDATA[Soulive are the heirs to the organ trio tradition of Jimmy Smith, Richard "Groove" Holmes, and Reuben Wilson. Eric Krasno's contemplative guitar figures set up washes of blissful organ, which descend from the heavens through the supple fingers of Neal Evans, easing your mind with earth-bound transmissions of pure soul as Alan Evans keeps the groove going on drums. Compositions progress through multiple sections, each with its own simple, catchy melody or break, sometimes repeated until it becomes a ritual; you're satisfied in knowing exactly what's going to come next. The band's improvisations are firmly blues-rooted but branch out into some clever Bop alterations without losing their sense of melody. Krasno's soulful, fluid lines give way to funky, itchy figures well behind the beat, as Evans' organ drones its way deep into your subconscious or noisily states its purpose with Leslie-drenched squeals. These are some of the deepest soul jazz grooves going today.

<description><![CDATA[Combining the romantic stylings of Barry White and the psychedelic tendancies of Jimi Hendrix, Lonnie Liston Smith's lush keyboard playing is ideal for an evening of hash-fuelled sexual discovery. He started his career in the 1960s, playing jazz piano alongside such luminaries as Pharoah Sanders and Rashaan Roland Kirk before going solo in the early 1970s. Supported by his exceptional backing band the Cosmic Echos, his distinct style consists of trippy, multi-dimensional fusion overflowing with exotic percussion, breezy flutes, and blissful melodies. The group played songs mostly about love, peace, and space traveling, though they also had many lengthy instrumental jams. Lonnie and company recorded a dozen LPs during the seventies, some of them on boutique labels such as Doctor Jazz and Flying Dutchman. He continued to record as a solo artist throughout the '80s and '90s, and found new fans who discovered him through rap samples. Popular amongst hip-hop producers thanks to his use of extended instrumental grooves, he was also featured on Guru's 1993 fusion project <i>Jazzmatazz Vol. 1</i>. Hugely influential, Lonnie Liston Smith is a master musician with devoted fans around the world. His most recent album <i>Transformation</i> was released in 1998.

<description><![CDATA[A Philadelphia legend and one of the funkiest groove riders to tickle the keys of a Hammond B-3 organ, McGriff can definitely play through a blistering Hard Bop scorcher, but let him ride on a simple vamp and he'll deliver some of the most soulful, blues-based playing you've ever heard. Rather than being satisfied with a steady swing, many of McGriff's early albums feature some of the funkiest beats on record -- and with Bernard Purdie on drums, his back catalog has become a hotbed for hip-hop sampling. McGriff's accompaniment is just as good as his soloing, whether he's laying out a punchy organ jab or coating a ballad in an atmospheric drone of rich, warm sonorities. Often paired with fellow jazzman Hank Crawford on alto sax, McGriff is still releasing excellent albums.

<description><![CDATA[Jack McDuff's organ sound is so soulful, so blues-drenched in its Hard Bop sound that he is nicknamed The Brother. McDuff's style is unique because he often plays his organ more like a piano, with short notes, rather than the long phrases associated with the instrument (think weddings and funerals). He had been on the scene since the mid-'50s but hit the big time when he hired a young guitarist named George Benson. The Benson/McDuff team had a special interplay that showed them both off to good advantage and helped launch Benson into orbit. Since then he has added depth to the work of such diverse artists as Jimmy Witherspoon, Joe Henderson, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. Like fellow organist Jimmy McGriff, McDuff's music is being rediscovered by the Acid Jazz movement. His jams will have your tail feather shaking seemingly of it's own free will.

<description><![CDATA[In the late 1980s, DeFrancesco helped bring the Soul Jazz sound back into the limelight with his blazing Hammond B-3 runs and sustaining draw-bar organ sound. Coming from Philadelphia, the home city for many early organ greats, he earned himself a spot in Miles Davis' band when he was fresh out of high school. DeFrancesco is a talented trumpet player as well, learning a thing or two from Davis' pinched, muted tone. His father, Papa John, is a veteran organ player and helped set Joey on the right path, dancing over the floor petals and playing lightning-fast bebop runs like his idols Jack McDuff and Jimmy Smith. In fact, DeFrancesco's duets with McDuff are some of his best, with both players melding into one greasy, soul-shack sonority and creating an endless groove in the process.

<description><![CDATA[Philadelphia native Earland may not have struck new ground in the soul/jazz genres, but he helped demonstrate just how funky and gritty a jazz organist could be. To hear his feet dance on the floor pedals is a treat -- his walking basslines propel many classic burners from the '60s on. Though he started on saxophone, Earland switched over to organ after playing in Jimmy McGriff's band, and teamed up with a variety of the best groovers around -- from Lou Donaldson and Pat Martino to Grover Washington, Jr. and Idris Muhammad. His album <I>Black Talk</I> became a commercial and artistic success; Earland found a way to sell many copies without selling out, as many of his peers did. He's passed away, but his music will power many sweaty sessions at smoky bars for years to come.

<description><![CDATA[Richard "Groove" Holmes, along with such soul-infused boppers as Jimmy Smith and Jimmy McGriff, helped maintain a jazz presence in dance halls and jukeboxes during the '60s and '70s. Whether working in a Big Band or small group setting, Holmes knew that jazz could still be good-time music and not just intellectual fodder for theorists. Holmes' accessible, swinging sound contained more than a touch of his homegrown Philly Soul, spinning out delicate ballads and even scoring a 1965 hit with his version of "Misty." Unfortunately, he died in 1991 just as the British Acid Jazz-sters were embracing him with open arms and shaking hips.

<description><![CDATA[In recent years, Reuben Wilson has finally received the respect he deserves, mostly from rare groove record bin scavengers and acid jazzers looking for the greasy roots of funky dance music. While his early works delved into exploratory jazz and fiery Hard Bop -- with legends Grant Green and Lee Morgan offering their assistance -- Wilson's 1970s albums for Blue Note were often considered too overtly commercial. Enter modern hip-hop artists such as Tribe Called Quest, Nas and Guru, who procured finely hued loops from these "sell-out" albums and enlightened many to the inherent catchiness, grooviness and undeniable soul of this master's playing. After a brief retirement, Wilson returned to the stage to let the Hammond B-3's keys flow over smoking beats.

<description><![CDATA[Larry Young, or Khalid Yasin, was the Jimi Hendrix of the Hammond organ, reaching musical brilliance through fierce, impassioned, dizzying walls of sound. Early in his career, he began moving away from the chicken-shack Funk and R&B that the rest of his generation of organists made their stylistic home. Instead, he took his inspiration from the harmonic extensions of John Coltrane; his mid-&#8216;60s albums explored these musical ideas, while firmly remaining in a Post Bop vein. In the late 1960s, inspired by Psychedelic rock, his music began taking on far more intense, explosive qualities. He was a key member of three legendary early Fusion bands: Miles Davis&#8217; <I>Bitches Brew</I> crew, Tony Williams&#8217; Lifetime, and the notorious Love Cry Want, who were banned from playing anywhere near the White House for fear that they might drive then-President Nixon over the edge!

<description><![CDATA[Greasy Hammond organ lines laid down over thick, funky beats somewhere between gritty 1960s boogaloo jazz and the progressive slickness of Acid Jazz. Walter was a founding member of the Greyboy Allstars, laying down bluesy, syncopated keyboard jabs and sustaining washes of tonal color. He also helped to write many of their tight, danceable cuts. His band, 20th Congress, continue in this tradition, with Walter's keyboards taking center stage - although he often shares the spotlight with high profile guests like saxophonist Gary Bartz. The material, though not necessarily breaking any new ground, always has a head-nodding groove. Live sets often feature covers of tunes by greats like Grant Green or Reuben Wilson.

<description><![CDATA[One of the top modern organ and piano players, Goldings does everything with a touch of soul, whether he's jabbing out simple, funky melodies, or going off on a blazing chromatic run. He's spent much of his time as the perfect accompanist, helping guitarists like John Scofield get contemporary Soul-Jazz grooves going with some Hammond B3 fire. On his own, he has proven himself a great leader in traditional organ-guitar-drums settings, as well as an excellent, if underrated, acoustic pianist. Goldings nicely combines the technical prowess of organist Jimmy Smith with the tonal mastery and experimental innovation of Fusion organ player Larry Young, then adds a good dash of New Orleans grit. Perhaps veteran Funk sax player Maceo Parker says it best on his classic <i>Life On Planet Groove</i>: "Go Larry! Go Larry! Go Larry!"

<description><![CDATA[Takes you back to the golden age of Soul Jazz, when album covers caught your eye with fancy cars and pretty ladies. It's hard to believe this combo of greasy Hammond organ, sultry alto sax, groovy drums, and funky guitar are around today -- they have a boogaloo sound so soulful you'd think they were the real (vintage) deal.

<description><![CDATA[Johnny Heartsman was one of the last great West Coast bluesmen. He sang in the low-key California style, played a mean Hammond organ, and laid out electric guitar lines that heavily influenced others. Not content to rest on his laurels, Heartsman could also handle woodwinds. Heartsman's blues was chock full of greasy jazz and sophisticated soul. A frequent sideman and live performer, he only had the opportunity to record a handful of albums under his own name.
