Gene Segal - Spiral

Guitarist/composer Gene Segal is rapidly becoming a stalwart regular player of SteepleChase Lookout with this his third album, for which Gene assembles an organ trio. With his unpredictable, open, unconventional style still intact Segal applies a mini paradigm shift to straighter jazz and reveals a new dimension.

While Segal still loves the funk, as the opening Healing Feeling definitively shows, the remainder of the album doesn't easily fit into any one musical pigeonhole; unless there's a category at your local music store called accomplished, original jazz-rock from out of left-field. - Dave Wayne, All About Jazz (on 'Mental Images')

Personnel: Gene Segal (guitar), Brian Charette (Hammond B3 organ), Bruce Cox (drums)
