Review:
Although somewhat obscure, Delbert Bump is a fine organist in the tradition of Jimmy Smith. His bluesy and swinging style is soulful and perfectly suited to this set of mostly basic originals. Guitarist Steve Homan offers a contrasting solo voice and some solid rhythm playing while drummer Babtunde keeps the proceedings swinging with solid forward momentum. The music is a bit derivative and perhaps predictable, but it is enjoyable overall and easily recommended to fans of Jimmy Smith and the grooving jazz organists of the 1960s.
