ORGANIK
ORGANIK is a new organ trio led by guitarist Deirdre Cartwright with Pete Whittaker on organ and Gary Hammond on congas/percussion.
Together, they recreate the sounds of the classic jazz organ/guitar trios of the 1960s — such as the music of Kenny Burrell/Jimmy Smith and Grant Green/Larry Young, Wes Montgomery/Melvin Rhyne. Plus they play some original takes on the Beatles, The Doors, Curtis Mayfield and Kate Bush.
