Live at Van Gelder's

Live at Van Gelder's

Live at Van Gelder’s was recorded not in a club but in the New Jersey studio of the late engineer Rudy Van Gelder, with a small invited audience. It’s not a common occurrence, but New Yorker Ben Paterson seized the opportunity to make swinging, bluesy organ-trio jazz in that hallowed space, where organ-trio history was made many times from the ’50s onward. Buoyed by the warm phrasing of guitarist Ed Cherry and the laidback groove of drummer Jason Tiemann, Paterson brings a commanding touch to canonical material including Ray Brown’s “F.S.R. (For Sonny Rollins),” the gorgeous Wayne Shorter waltz “Edda,” and the midtempo Grant Green cooker “Green Jeans,” among other treasures by Horace Silver, Slide Hampton, and the giants of the idiom.
