This collection is a classic in the making, featuring two of jazz's hottest organ trios in a blend of joyful, exciting jazz that just keeps on pleasing. Each song showcases the musicians, and it is a memorable experience listening to them perform the compositions of Tony Monaco, and other composers. If you are an jazz organ fan, then you are in for a surprise and a wonderful time listening to the sounds of the new "New B3 Organ." There are nine songs plus an interview in the collection. Among the songs are "Pasta Faggioli," "Homily," "Katarina's Prayer," "Flat Tire," "Mona Lisa," "Mozzarella," "Aglio e Olio," "Oh Marie," and "Waltz of the Angels." This jazz is classy stuff, a delight to listen to, and a great CD to have in your collection! "Katarina's Prayer" is a lovely work, as is "Homily." A classic collection with classic performances, this one will be played years from now with the same sense of wonder and joy as when it was first released! Flawless.
