Here’s a hummer of a Hammond Trio set with all stars Steve Smith/dr, Tony Monaco/dr and Vinny Valentino/go on a mix of originals and grooving standards. They deliver a sleek ¾ read of “It’s Only A Paper Moon” and boogaloo through a hip “ On Green Dolphin Street” while getting chunky and funky on “Cherokee.” Tasty guitar work is delivered by Valentino on the laconic “That’s All” and he dances around Smith’s deft work on the aptly titled “The Brush Off.” Smith is a treat here, riding the cymbal on the soulful “I Remember Jimmy” while Monaco manhandles the Leslies. A rapid fire “Slingshot Blues” sizzles like a T-bone and make sure you put on some Afro Sheen when digging “Bugalulu.” A humdinger!
