Set for release on 1 January 2007, this is an attractive guitar and organ trio set by Jason Campbell, an Australian guitarist whose band, JC & the Jazz Hoppers, has made a big impression Down Under.
With Col Nolan, on Hammond B3, and Andrew Dickeson, on drums (Evan Mannell on one track), Jason drives smoothly through a pleasing selection of material.
...
There are two takes of Tadd Dameron's Our Delight, an original by Jason, and a few items usually heard in performances by contemporary pop musicians, all of which he turns into straightahead jazz pieces.
No frills, no egocentric excesses, just good solid and swinging music from some very talented musicians.
The aim of this set is to introduce Jason to a worldwide audience, and especially in America.
This should do the trick.
Admittedly, there are a lot of very good guitarists out there, but Jason has the ability to make his presence felt and heard. (Buy this now ...)
