Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio Live from Jazz St. Louis
Delvon Lamarr Organ Trioor as it is sometimes referred to, DLO3specialize in the lost art of feel good music. The ingredients of this intoxicating cocktail include a big helping of the 1960s organ jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette; a pinch of the snappy soul strut of Booker T. The The Meters, and sprinkles Motown, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrixstyle guitar. Its a souljazz concoction that goes straight to your heart and head makes your body break out in a sweat. The band features organist Delvon Lamarr, a selftaught virtuosic musician, with perfect pitch who taught himself jazz and has effortlessly been able to play a multitude of instruments. On guitar is the dynamo Jimmy James who eases through Steve Cropperstyle chanking guitar, volcanic acidrock freakout lead playing, and slinky Grant Green style jazz. From Bellingham, Washington is drummer Julian MacDonough who has been in the scene since Delvon first laid his hand on the hammond organ. To sa
