Pamela Rose – of Wild Women of Song – and Hammond B-3 ace Wayne De La Cruz debut music from their new CD, Hammond Organ Party, with a stellar line up of Bay Area musicians, including the masterful talents of Charles McNeal on saxophone, Jeff Massanari on guitar, and Kent Bryson on drums. Together, Rose’s soulful singing and De La Cruz’s inspired keyboard wizardry lifts the Hammond Organ Party into the stratosphere of swinging jazz standards and classic R&B grooves. From the bluesy swing of the Isley’s Nobody But Me to the melodic strains of Harry Warren’s September In The Rain, to the funky shuffle of Little Walter’s My Babe, the Hammond Organ Party brings it all back home.
With flaming red hair to match her fiery style, San Francisco jazz and blues vocalist Pamela Rose channels her life-long affair with the Hammond B-3 organ with the release of a brand new CD Hammond Organ Party! Co-produced with B-3 master Wayne De La Cruz, the duo have created a rare encounter between a soul-drenched singer and a prodigious B-3 practitioner. Loose and limber, moving and grooving, the performances feel like a Saturday night celebration, with Rose and her top-shelf cast romping through beloved swinging standards, blues hits, and R&B classics. No surprise – Rose cut her teeth by touring in the 70’s with organist Merl Saunders and has featured organ on each of her subsequent recordings. Known for her celebration of female songwriters Wild Women of Song, Rose shows yet another facet of her musical identity with this delightful new CD and concert.
