Jermaine Landsberger starts a fire



Jermaine Landsberger
Gettin' Blazed
(Resonance Records)


German-born Hammond B-3 keyboardist Jermaine Landsberger starts the jazz fire warmly on his stateside debut. "Sno' Peas" starts the catalytic action in waltz time and shows the chemistry of Landsberger, respected drummer Harvey Mason, bassist James Genus, saxophonist Gary Meek and renowned guitarist Pat Martino. Swedish guitarist Andreas Öberg gets his turn to burn with Martino on Django Reinhardt's "Babik," by which time the chemical reaction is shining brightly. A "St. Thomas" quote here, a "Days of Wine and Roses" quote there, make this jazz lover’s album complete.
