Hammond Organ Party!

Jazz and blues audiences will associate vocalist and educator Pamela Rosewith her work of the past 5 years, a celebration of women songwriters in her book, recording and touring multimedia show Wild Women of Song: Great Gal Composers of the Jazz Era.

But San Francisco Bay Area fans know that Rose’s enduring passion for the swinging and soulful sounds of the Hammond B-3 organ have often paired her with jazz B-3 master Wayne De La Cruz at local clubs and festivals. De La Cruz approached Rose with the idea of taking that partnership into the studio with special arrangements structured for voice and B-3.

The result is Hammond Organ Party!, an inexplicably rare encounter between a soul-drenched singer and a prodigious B-3 practitioner. Loose and limber, moving and grooving, the album feels like a Saturday night celebration, with Rose and her top-shelf cast romping through beloved standards, blues hits, and R&B classics.

Hammond Organ Party! has audiences buzzing – and no wonder. Pamela Rose puts on an unforgettable show. Her swinging, soulful vocal style has long established her as a crowd favorite regionally and internationally. Taking a break from her touring show Wild Women of Song, Pamela Rose is thrilled to show off this brand spanking new concert set up and down the West Coast – including a featured set at Monterey Jazz Festival 2014. . Backed by saxophone great Charles McNeal (McCoy Tyner, Lyle Lovett) , and drummer Ryan Rose, this is just the way to Party!

“Hammond Organ Party! is an exceptional collaboration…Rose and De La Cruz have hit a home run!” – Pete Fallico, Doodlin’ Lounge
