Customer Reviews (amazon)
Freddie Roach has to be one of the most unknown but totally fantastic hammond organists out there! His albums from BlueNote are all totally worth the money..... that is if you can find them!
'Good Move!' is a classic and features Freddies funky, swinging and groove based style of playing. His bass lines are probably my favorite part of the whole deal, moody and deep, they stand out as nothing special when compared to someone like Jimmy Smith or "Groove" Holmes basswork but they are unique & original and that's always a bonus when it comes to hammond players.
I personally enjoy the groovy shuffle of tracks like 'Googa Mooga' (from 'Brown Sugar' I think) and 'Wine, Wine, Wine' which is featured on this set.
Freddie had a more subtle and friendlier approach to the organ and was never one to use a thousand notes when some funky shuffle handywork could produce the same desired effect! His phrasing has some real gems hidden amongst the more straight down the line moves he has going down.
I strongly recommend hunting down his other BlueNote works but the Prestige stuff appears to suffer from lack of rehearsal (Lion and Woolf paid their stars rehearsal time before recording) and are not as interesting as 'Good Move', 'Brown Sugar' and 'Mo Greens'.
Freddie Roach in one word: SLINKY!!
