Rich Perry - Organique (2015)

As Rich Perry's previous SteepleChase release 'Nocturne' deviated the standard quartet configuration by replacing piano with guitar, on this his 22nd album Rich tries something new again: an organ trio. With his two long-time creative partners (Gary Versace at the keyboard and Jeff Hirshfield on drums) Rich Perry opens a new chapter of the art of jazz improvisation. "This is standards-centered jazz of the best sort." - Derek Taylor, Dusted magazine on Nocturne (SCCD31776) "Rich Perry is that rarest of tenor saxophonists - a complete musician with an understanding of space and timing, a palpable sense of colour and humour and absolutely no need to showboat or compromise…he makes jazz that's adventurous and highly listenable with a smart and sympathetic band playing standards not frequently performed and in new ways of playing in the tradition." - Donald Elfman, All About Jazz on East Of The Sun & West Of 2nd Ave (SCCD31558)
