The power and sound of two Hammond B3s. Seven of Canada and North America's premiere players came together over three days to play with and against each other in an old fashioned 'cutting' session. Doug Riley (Dr. Music, Ray Charles, Bob Seger) Bill Payne (Little Feat) Michael Fonfara (Rhinoceros, Lou Reed, The Lincolns), Denis Keldie (The Extras, the Lincolns), Rob Gusevs (Kevin Breit's The Sister's Euclid), Richard Bell (The Band, The Grease Ball Boogie Band) and producer Lance Anderson (Anderson/Sloski, Oscar Peterson Multimedia CD ROM.)
All present for each sessions, ready to be called on, to spontaneously 'go out and give it a try.' A soul classic here, a rock standard next, with a few originals thrown in. Back to back organs and a dream rhythm section, featuring Richie Hayward (Little feat) on drums and Colin Linden (guitar) and Dennis Pendrith (Bruce Cockburn, David Wilcox) on bass. Turn on the recorders and capture the drama.
This CD has become the essential CD in a Hammond organ fan's library. Keyboard magazine's Mark Vail raved about it and said, "This is one hot recording".

Awesome.....just awesome!
author: Shadi from Carbondale, ILI'm glad I came across this CD. There is nothing like the sound of a B3, let alone two. The artistry here is top notch and the tunes are great. BRAVISSIMO!
The only thing better than one B3...is two B3's and a half-dozen B3 bashers!
author: John in WindsorI don't deal out five ***** unless I think the CD earned it in every respect. And this one did. First, we have excellent presentation including a fold-out cover that has commentary on each individual track and organist. The CD itself is jam packed with 14 tracks - and not one will tempt you to hit the "next" button on your remote. And they save the best for last, a fantastic arrangement of Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride." If you love funky B3 jams brought to you by some real hardworking organists, buy this CD now!
B-3 jams at their smokin' best
author: Michael WeissEveryone of these guys is a master and every cut is a treat. Hearing the tambre of each organ is worth the price of the CD and when these guys play off each other it's amazing. The arrangements are fresh, the riffs and solos are electrifing. Way cool !!
Excellent B3 grooves. The recording was a little wanting, but the performances
author: Steve, NapervilleSet Your Ears on Fire
author: Brian73I made the mistake of listening to this disc for the first time at work. I put on my headphones and that was the end of that. The versions of Gimme Some Lovin' and Magic Carpet Ride blew me away. The entire disc is great but other highlights for me include Hip Hug-her and Apricot Brandy. If you are a fan of the B3, this is a must have CD. Get in the groove and dance!!
