he guitarist and organist combination certainly share a dynamic chemistry. Through the years, one can recal Wes Montgomery and Jimmy Smith, or Grant Green and Larry Young.
Now we have the opportunity to witness Sheryl Bailey with her release, "The Power of Three!"
Ms. Bailey should win over some new fans, as she did judges at the Thelonious Monk Jazz competition for guitar held in our nation's capital.Bailey won third place in a very competitive field. Ms. Bailey has penned some spirited, funky tunes for this outing.
The opening track gives you a good insight as to the kind of performances you're about to encounter, very much in the favorite of a soulful strut.
One of the album's longer cuts, "Until You Return to Me" has a gentle finger picking that reminds one of Grant Green.
I hope this ensemble has the opportunity to stay together and develop the instincitve reactions all great trios have.The Jazz world has a lot to look forward to frome someone who possesses such remarkable talent. Don't pass up this one.
