And while at age 81 he has long since passed the nothing-left-to-prove milestone, here he is with two younger players, making an album of high-energy organ trio jazz. Christian Fabian lays down a thick bass groove, while Ron Oswanski delivers the melody on electric organ.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the tracks on <i>Move <\/i><i>O<\/i><i>n!<\/i> are composed by Fabian, and they cook. The covers draw form the very best, including Duke Ellington (\u201cLove You Madly\u201d) and Miles Davis (\u201cSo What\u201d). Julia Ward Howe\u2019s \u201cBattle Hymn of the Republic\u201d has long been a jazz staple, and the trio turns in a tasty reading.<\/p>\n<p>The album swings: sometime gently, other times forcefully. This isn\u2019t avant-garde stuff; it\u2019s accessible, tuneful, in-the-pocket grooving music. Hardcore jazzers will find plenty to like when Fabian lays down an extended bass solo on \u201cBPP Blues,\u201d and deep funk is showcased on \u201c84-85.\u201d The trio goes full speed ahead on the intricate \u201cGot Groove (pt.2)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While \u201cCan\u2019t You See (You\u2019re Doin\u2019 Me Wrong)\u201d drifts perilously close to smooth jazz, when it\u2019s done this well, there\u2019s no reason to complain. A simmering, hypnotic version of Davis\u2019 \u201cSo What\u201d closes the album in style. <i>Move On!<\/i> has the sound and feel of three musicians communicating on the highest level, and having fun doing it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bernard Purdie is one of the most influential drummers in music; his style has made a serious impression on players well outside his chosen genres of jazz and funk.
