Release Notes:
Jim Payne began his musical career in the late
'50's when, as a teenager in Connecticut he traded
in his hated accordion for a set of drums. That
very day he had his first rehearsal with a local
doo wop group the Deltrons, Jim has been in the
music business ever since.
Drummer Jim Payne performs bluesy material with his
traditional yet forward-looking organ trio.
Guitarist John Scofield sits in on the blues "Jabo"
and Mike Clark plays second drums on two numbers,
but otherwise the music is interpreted by the trio
of organist Jerry Z, guitarist Bill Bickford (who
sometimes hints a bit at Scofield), and Payne. It
is danceable, grooving, funky, R&B-ish, and full of
the blues without being overly predictable. While
Energie can be played in the background at parties,
it rewards close listenings too, for it is quite
fun. The three core musicians clearly enjoy playing
off each other, to the benefit of listeners.
