Jim Alfredson: Family Business

B3 man Jim Alfredson gives an old fashioned soul session with Alex Sipiagin/tp, Diego Rivera/ts, Michael Dease/tb, Will Bernard/b, EJ Strickland/dr and Kevin “Bujo” Jones/perc on this collection of mostly originals. Alfredson shows his roots on the opening track, a Lonnie Smith tune “Peepin’” that boogaloos to Rivera’s tenor. The brass slides and glides on “For Miles” and shuffles on “Foster Blues”. The horns create rich harmonies on the bluesy “Strange Matter” and upbeat “Verna” with some tasty bass work on “Easy Breazy”. Peanut butter and jelly jazz.
