Righteous Rooster: Fowl Play
by Richard J Salvucci
Time was when organ trios were thick on the ground. They were just bluesy enough, soul-inflected and grooving enough to capture a younger audience raised on something other than swing or even bop, although there were a few hard-bop outfits too.

Now, seventeen years later, guitar wunderkind Charlie Hunter makes a similar ...
