Andy Laverne's One Of A Kind - I Want To Hold Your Hand - At The Kitano Vol. 3

Andy LaVerne's unique ensemble of piano/organ/drums wraps up the two-night engagement at New York's prominent jazz lounge at the Kitano Hotel, with this last volume of intriguing original compositions by LaVerne and a handful of appealing standard titles.

In hindsight, it's surprising that the piano and organ format has been so rarely utilized in jazz because it makes so much sense. The B3 is able to provide a bass line and a unique textural counterpoint that can complement as well as step forward...it's Andy's superb originals that supply the fodder for this most rewarding collection. - Andrew Hovan, All About Jazz on 'Intelligent Design'

Personnel: Andy LaVerne (piano), Gary Versace (Hammond B3 organ), Anthony Pinciotti (drums)
