Hammond B3 man Dan Trudell gives a tribute to fellow hummer Dr. Lonnie Smith and drummer Clyde Stubblefield on this fun and funky session with Mike Standal/g, Dana Hall/dr, Pat Mallinger/as, John Wojciechowski/ts and Joel Adams in mix and match mode.Trudell splashes the keys in funky fashion around Standal’s fluid lines on the title track, with everyone getting a chance to jump in, as well as on the blues swamp of “Scram”. The Leslie speakers hum to Wojciechowski’s tenor on “Glow Worm” while Mallinger and Adams ride the whitewater wave of Hall’s backbeat on “Hip Hop Bach”. Chunky grooves dominate “Holler Back” and Trudell fills the room on an organic “Chocolate Martini”. The album has a hip night club jam session feel; all that’s missing is the two drink minimum.
