Walter Kemp 3oh! : Dark Continent

Walter Kemp plays piano and organ as he keeps it hip with Rishon Odel Northington/b and David Hulett/dr on home grown compositions. The drums snap and the bass gets funky as Kemps’ piano blueses on “Ah-Freak-Ya” while the team dramatically swings with excitement on “Repentance.” Kemp is rich and expansive with a heartfelt “Seasons” and is stately on a relaxed “CMC.” Northington bends the strings with authority on the soft and spacious “PB&J” and the whole team is romantic over Hulett’s snazzy drum work on “Club Talk.” A toe tapper with thought and class.
