The trio delivers ten liberated tracks that summon the spirits of Medeski, Martin &amp; Wood, Dr. Lonnie Smith and Joey DeFrancesco into a fresh understanding of their version of funk, R&amp;B and the essence of jazz. Honorable mention goes to the trio for their rendition of Miles Davis&#8217; &#8220;Blue In Green&#8221; on which they use a formula that works for this trio format and still pays justice to the original format.<\/p>\n<p>   The melody is rather deconstructed but nonetheless, the very thought of this song played by an organ trio with a guitar leading the melody is quite an achievement. With Ken on organ, Mike Mele on guitar and Steve Chaggaris on drums the trio delivers solid lines and soaring melodies in a winning sassy way. If you like the funky sound of the Hammond B3, then this is one for your collection.  <\/font>     <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-size:14px\">     <br \/>    Reprinted with permission of&#8230;<br \/><\/font><font size=\"2\" face=\"Verdana, Helvetica\" color=\"#000000\" style=\"font-size:14px\">     <a href=\"http:\/\/www.soundsoftimelessjazz.com\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/sotjlogo.gif\" width=\"540\" height=\"100\" border=\"0\"\/><\/a>     <\/font><\/p>\n<p>            <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ken Clark Organ TrioEternal Funk(Dreyfus &#8211; 2003) by Paula Edelstein<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3976","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3976"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3976\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3976"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3976"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jazzusa.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3976"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
