Influences
Ken Clark Organ Trio follows their critically acclaimed Severn debut "Eternal Funk" with "Mutual Respect." The New England based trio offers 11 tracks spotlighting the Hammond B-3, with a foundation of styles ranging from traditional jazz to funk and soul. Clever melodies, and superb musicianship are this trio's strong points. "Mutual Respect" was recorded live in the studio with very few overdubs.
"Clark controls the B3 like a master: hip bass lines, sizzling chordal washes, feel-good riffs, funky blues lines and syncopated accents figure in the mix." – OWEN CORDLE, JAZZ TIMES
"[Ken] plays a supercharged Hammond B-3 the way it used to be played, leading a topnotch rhythm section in grooves that bring to mind the great Jimmy Smith, Larry Young, and Don Patterson albums of the 1950's and 60’s." – FRED SHUSTER, L.A. DAILY NEWS
Check Ken out with some of these other acts; Fats Hammond, The Love Dogs, CatFish Lucy, Chris Fitz, Toe Jamm, Regressing to Apes and Salem Cigarette Machine!
