Grooving Jazz organ trio Cool Hammond B3 urbane jazz-flavored, with exciting bursts of instrumental virtuosity and some of the best music in the 70's style Jazz/Soul.
Bio / Background
LaBert Ellis played piano exclusively until he first heard the sound of the Hammond B3. He said that he spent about two weeks straight "woodshedding" until he was able to get the feel of the organ and produce his own special sound and technique.
I met Labert or "Bert" as he was called by those who worked with him, when he moved to Compton, California in the mid sixties. We became close friends and musical colleagues.
Bert was like a spider on the B3. He moved effortlessly over the entire keyboard and was one of the few jazz organists who actually played bass on the foot pedals while backing his solos with outstanding chordal compositions with his left hand. Bert could read very well and could translate any musical composition into a swinging, grooving, foot tapping excursion. He was able to improvise on any succession of chord changes in any key and at any tempo.
In 1971, I had the distinct and unmatchable pleasure to work with him in a trio situation.
