Vids from recent gigs/rehearsals with funk/soul legend BRIAN JACKSON!
ENGLISH: Hammond organ trio headed by the unstopable Wilkinson brothers.. Fast3 play a mix of swinging organ soul-jazz ala Grant Green and hard grooving originals. Their debut cd "The Grifter" came out in 2006 with One Note records and they have recently recorded a swinging tribute to Grant Green "3's Company - A tribute to Grant Green" due for release this year on Doodlin' Records (USA). Fast3 took the Soul Cooker Festival (France) by storm in 2007, many people agreeing they were easily the most exciting act that year. No other hammond trio does it as authenicaly as Fast3, just ask George Braith (60's Blue Note recording legend) or Brian Jackson (Gil Scott-Heron, Kool and the Gang).. or even swing master Ray Gelato... all have called upon Fast3's services in the past... a sure sign of exellence!
ESPAÑOL: Fundado en Inglaterra por los hermanos Wilkinson, Fast 3 es un trío de órgano, guitarra y batería afincado en Barcelona desde 2005. Con un sonido inspirado en los grupos de organ hammond de la década de 1960, su repertorio incluye temas originales de una mezcla explosiva de soul/funk y estandards del jazz y del pop que los vuelve irresistibles en las pistas de baile. Su primer disco, The Grifter, salió a la luz en 2006 bajo el sello One Note Records (Inglaterra) y tuvo un inesperado éxito de ventas en Japón. Próximamente sacarán un disco en homenaje a Grant Green, maestro incomparable del jazz más swingeante, en Doodlin' Records (Estados Unidos). Con su electrizante actuación, Fast 3 fue la gran sorpresa del Soul Cooker Festival 2007 en Francia. El trío ha acompañado al legendario George Braith y a Brian Jackson en sus giras por España.

S.O.S :) on your Myspace page it says your playing at Sala Monasterio, but on Sala Monasterio's webpage it says "Concurso de Blues SBB – Semifinales" . So I just wanted to confirm where you are playing tonight, since I've been telling all my friends to come to Sala Monasterio :)
