Ed-Alstrom-OrganizedEd Alstrom cooks up a tasty tonewheel storm on his latest release. Alstrom has performed with everyone from Herbie Hancock to Blood Sweat & Tears, and has been the weekend organist at Yankee Stadium since 2004. Trained exclusively as an organist (unlike many keyboardists), the New Jersey native navigates the mighty B-3 with an ease that belies its myriad possibilities. One listen to his hearty Hammond work on this grooving set, and you’ll understand what the buzz is all about (Haywire, edalstrom.com)
