notes
Originally from Chicago, Wil Blades has been performing since the age of ten and playing professionally in the Bay Area ever since he majored in Jazz Studies at the New College of California. In this, his first session as a leader, Wil shows how his compositional skills and creative soloing style have propelled him into the upper levels of our New Jazz Organ Movement. World renowned drummer Idris Muhammad joins Wil in this debut release to re-ignite the excitement that the two of them have shared in their many on-stage performances. The collective efforts of guitarist Will Bernard; saxophonists Gabe Eaton and Dayna Stephens; and trombonist Mike Rinta are triumphant in capturing the essence of Wil Blades and his music. This promises to be one of the best releases for 2007. It’s new - and it’s
happening!

author: Eric KesselFinally, the long-awaited debut from Wil Blades. The album displays his varied B3 talents- from funk to bop, and his songwriting and arranging talents as well. Check out Sketchy and Whas Up Doc to hear the essence of what is unique about Blades' playing and writing- the multifaceted, never over-the-top integration of Hammond history with a modern and personal sensibility. A sure sign of a good album: repeated listenings are rewarded.
