Their organist was very well versed in jazz and blues and Duke thought he sounded familiar. Before soundcheck was over they were talking and jamming some classic jazz tunes. Lo and behold, it was the organist Sax Gordon had told him about that he recorded with in Italy! Duke: \"It truly is a small world when you are talking about music.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast forward a few years, Duke Robillard was contacted about playing a short tour with Sugar Ray Norcia, Mudcat Ward and Mark Teixeira, then doing a series of workshops in Castagnole Piemonte, Italy, after a musically satisfying blues tour. The workshops they were to play were run by Alberto Marsico. It was during these workshops, organized by Alberto Marsico, that an exciting opportunity unfolded. Alberto suggested that, during their one free day, they record a classic jazz organ trio album with Duke, Mark and him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e It sounded like a great opportunity to play some relaxed swingin' jazz of the kind these three guys always loved. Being a spirit of the moment thing, they quickly came up with a list of tunes that would be fun and they could arrange on the spot. They had a short rehearsal to hone a few ideas and the next morning they were in the studio and completed the entire album live in about four hours! As soon as they started playing it was even more obvious than it was at the brief rehearsal, that this was a trio that was meant to happen. All three love the bluesy groove of all the classic organists of the 50s and 60s, which made it incredibly fun and easy to play together. Thanks to the great recording expertise of Carlo Miori, The Organ Trio achieved a fabulous sound quality and they all were proud of this totally live recording. Duke Robillard: \"Alberto, Mark and I hope you enjoy our efforts in giving you a completely live swingin' jazz album of fun tunes demonstrating what can happen when you put three like-minded musicians together in the studio for a few hours.

The former sideman of Charles Mingus, Gil Evans and Quincy Jones had come to Germany not only with his successful Mercury albums \"Domino\" and \"We Free Kings\" in his luggage, but also with a great accompanying combo: Swiss pianist George Gruntz, known for his work with Klaus Doldinger, Louis Armstrong and Don Cherry, shone with his sensitive playing. French bassist Guy Pedersen (who has played with Baden Powell, Michel Legrand and Quincy Jones, among others) and Swiss drummer Daniel Humair (who has played with Joachim Kuhn and Jean Luc Ponty, among others) provided the rhythm. Roland Kirk, who went blind at the age of two, mainly played the tenor saxophone and two historical variants of the saxophone, namely the Manzello (actually a modified King saxophone) and the Stritch (actually a Buscher eB alto saxophone in straight form, equipped with additional keys for one-handed playing and an enlarged bell). He often played these three instruments at the same time and demonstrated this art during the recordings in the Bremen studio. The director of this memorable performance was none other than Mike Leckebusch, and this Domino production is said to have been his first directorial effort.
