Ken Lovern's OJT (Organ Jazz Trio)

About Me

Ken Lovern's OJT is a group of jazz musicians from the Kansas City area who believe in the groove of funky organ jazz.Here is a recent review of the OJT CD:From Keyboard Magazine, May 2006.UNSIGNED ARTIST OF THE MONTH:For many keyboardists, there's nothing more satisfying to hear than a B-3 beautifully played. Ken Loverns Organ Jazz Trio is a wholly satisfying disc for just that reason. Though its clear that Ken has a solid groove, creative sense of melody, and the chops to make it all sing, one if the real highlights here is his mastery of the drawbars; the OJTs organ tone changes constantly and fluidly within the framework of a song or solo, adding an unexpected layer of expressiveness to Kens playing. Original tracks like OJT Theme and Swirlies show a good deal of compositional maturity as well, and the groups cover of Michael Jacksons Billie Jean is surprisingly cool, funky, and sophisticated.Michael Gallantmspmb allowScriptAccess="never" src="http://lads.myspace.com/slides/slideshow_random.swf?u=6 4688535" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="426"
