About
One of the top organists of his generation Brian Charette approaches his instrument in most imaginative way. His now-celebrated Sextette is arguably the best example of his inventiveness.
Here again on their third album the woodwind and brass section of 4 led by Charette demonstrates their power to move the air.
"The winsome logic of Charette's constructions and the merits of his well-rehearsed band serve as persuasive catalysts for positive consensus." - Derek Taylor, Dusted Magazine
Personnel: Brian Charette (Hammond B3 organ), Itai Kriss flute), Mike Dirubbo (alto saxophone), Kenny Brooks (tenor saxophone), Karel Ruzicka (bass clarinet), Brian Fishler (drums)
