Not your father's B-3 combo
On "Realization" (Sirocco Music) George Colligan and his group Mad Science graft computer synthesizers to a classic B-3, guitar and drums trio. The result is a package with a mostly rock-like beat and places where it kind of reminds me of the electronic stuff Bugge Wesseltoft does, but with strong overtones of Dr. Lonnie Smith and Larry Young. (On "Grounded," the title track and "Utopian Struggle," among other places.) By turns funky and abstract, I think it's kind of a cool update of the organ jazz combo.
