Rapahel Wressnig & Igor Prado Groove & Good Times (CD)

Old-school meets new-school and their sound blends authentic blues feel with contemporary funkiness. Prado and Wressnig represent an intersection of soul, blues and funk rhythms, shamelessly reaching into the happy center of the music listener's brain. They blend contemporary rhythmic sensibilities with raw blues sounds and show how much soul and groove can be found in modern soul and blues.

Raphael Wressnig's unique playing on the Hammond B-3 organ has made him the epitome of a modern Hammond organist. The musician has already been nominated five times for Best Organ Player of the Year in the Critics Poll of the jazz bible DownBeat. With Brazilian blues guitarist Igor Prado, he produced the album Groove & Good Times.
