Ellery Eskelin

DIGISLEEVE EDITION

This concert was recorded for SRF 2 Kultur and the combination of good vibes (on the part of the audience) and technical acumen (on the part of the recording engineers) resulted in a great musical document and recording. Any distortion you may hear in the sound of the Hammond organ was original to the instrument and not introduced in the recording process. These vintage instruments each have their own particular character and Gary Versace truly brought this B3 to life in all itís glorious grit and soul. Gary’s nearly telepathic musical mind along with Gerry Hemingway’s absolutely unique approach to the drums infused the music this evening with a very special and rare chemistry.
