One of the grooviest albums ever from organist Rhoda Scott -- a hip, double-length set recorded at the Club Saint Germain in Paris -- often with a good deal of funk in the mix! Rhoda's working here in a slightly expanded version of her usual format -- her own Hammond organ in the lead, plus drums from Cees Kranenburg and tenor sax from Leo Johnson -- the last of which makes for a wonderful addition to the groove! Most tracks are quite long, and build with a good sense of energy -- almost jamming at times, with the drums used much more heavily than on other Scott albums. And Johnson's sax is great too -- bringing in a sharper edge that really deepens the soul, and helps show a side of Rhoda that wasn't always caught on record at the time. Titles include a killer 18-minute version of War's "Slipping Into Darkness", a funky take on "Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001)", and the originals "Espoir", "Floor Lip", "Le Saint Germain", and "Nyugi-Nyugi". © 1996-2009, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

 NOTES:

Rhoda Scott

Born: July 3, 1938 Instrument: Organ, Hammond B3. The daughter of an AME minister, Scott spent much of her childhood in New Jersey, where she learned to play organ in the churches where her father served. Soon she herself was serving frequently as organist for youth and gospel choirs at her father's and other churches. Scott later studied classical piano, but she concentrated on the organ, eventually earning a Masters' degree in music theory from the Manhattan School of Music. By this time she had been asked by a choir member to fill in with a small band as a jazz pianist. Enjoying the music, she agreed to stay on with the band on condition that she be allowed to play organ instead of piano. Choosing as her instrument the Hammond Organ, she soon became a preeminent jazz musician.

Scott was first attracted to the organ in her father’s church at age seven. “It's really the most beautiful instrument in the world,” she stated in a recent interview. “The first thing I did was take my shoes off and work the pedals.”[1] From then on she always played her church organ in her bare feet, and to this date she has continued the practice, earning her nicknames such as “The Barefoot Lady” and “The Barefoot Contessa.” Following her lead, many other performers of popular organ music now also play barefoot. Because of her church training, however, Scott uses the pedals to play a genuine bass line, unlike many other jazz organists, which allows her to use her left hand for more elaborate chord work.[2] The resulting music is an energetic fusion of musical styles that partakes of jazz, gospel, and classical, reflecting both Scott’s early experience and her formal training.

In 1967 Scott moved to France, where she has since spent most of her career and earned recognition far greater than that accorded to her in the United States, though she often performs in the latter country as well.

In the rush to exhume every Hammond B-3 jazz player of the 60s when acid jazz and Joey DeFrancesco first hit it big, Rhoda Scott seems to be forgotten. Perhaps it's because she's been living in Paris for the last 25 years. Perhaps it's because the classically-trained Scott attacks her instrument a little differently than the pisno players who learned the Hammond in a hurry to get gigs in a hurry. Scott's approach to the organ is as a band, not a single horn as Jimmy Smith and most other jazz organists. Also, her classical training gives her the sort of understanding of the organ's nuances that most of her contemporaries don't have. It should be noted that the only other musician on this 1991 compilation of ballads recorded in 1973 is drummer Michael Silva--Scott plays her own bass lines on the pedals (barefoot) without doubling on the left hand, which leaves her left hand free to do the sort of things the guitar player does in most organ groups. This set isn't recommended for those who want a hot party set of burners and blues (although she does turn up the heat on several cuts), Scott does err on occasion of being too show-offish in her virtuosity (or coming very close to sounding soap operaish) and Barbara Dennerlein fans will find it all too mainstream-sounding, but if you want some really pretty organ jazz (and yes, it is possible) and just some solid organ playing, you'll find it here from a woman who should be better known in the jazz world. And if you're wondering why the B-3 sounds a little different, that's because Scott uses both a Leslie speaker and the speaker Hammond preferred people used, which gives the B-3 a little bit of churchiness, even when the Leslie is on full speed.
