More hip SOUL-JAZZ" by B3 shootingstar Raphael Wressnig! In Graz /Österreich geboren – Funk B3 player über 200 Konzerte in 2006 / 2007 und als Shootingstar der internationalen Hammondorgel Szene gefeiert – kein geringerer als der 28 jährige Raphael Wressnig macht hier mit einer neuen tödlich groovenden Scheibe von sich reden. Seine Haupteinflüsse stammen von Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff und einigen modernen Hammond Freaks wie John Medeski, Larry Goldings und Billy Preston. Mit Größen wie Louisina Red, Sugar Blue, Hoarcio “El negro” Hernandez (grammy winner, ex-Carlos Santana, McCoy Tyner), Pete York (Spencer Davis Group, Helge Schneider) war er bereits auf Tour und mit Cut A little Deeperon the FUNK! schreitet er mit großen Schritten voran, Hut ab bei knapp 40 Konzerte im April-Juni 2008. Some prices: 2004 - Winner: BEST JAZZ ALBUM - Concerto Poll 2005 - Nomination: BEST ORGAN/PIANO PLAYER EUROPE - French blues trophees 2006 - ORGANIST OF THE MONTH - International archieves for the jazz organ Raphael Wressnig (Hammond B3 organ) Georg Jantscher (guitar) Lukas Knöfler (drums) Special guests: Craig Handy, Sax Gordon, Eric Bloom, Christian Bachner, Luis Ribeiro.
Raised up in Graz / Austria at only 28 years old Wressnig has already established himself as one of Europe’s top and most explosive jazz & funk organists. With this CD, he not only cements that reputation on the international jazz scene, but he is well on his way to creating a sound and an approach to the instrument that is particularly fresh, edgy and penetrating. Raphaael’s main influences have come from the great traditional jazz organists Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff and some modern interpreters John Medeski, Larry Goldings and Billy Preston. Wressnig palyed already with stars like Louisina Red, Sugar Blue, Hoarcio “El negro” Hernandez (grammy winner, ex-Carlos Santana, McCoy Tyner), Pete York (Spencer Davis Group, Helge Schneider) any many more. With Cut Deeper on the Funk, Wressnig shows he is interested in not only challenging himself and the music, but that he is open minded and ready to explore. This recording is a panoply of all original songs that go from straight-up swing blues to more avant-garde material. The different songs and sounds work wonderfully off each other, and when the group takes it outside, they always come back to the basics keeping it cohesive—always emphasizing that the blues is not far behind.
