Leslie Overdrive - ...With the Hammond, in the beauty (2007)

Ya dije hace días que el sonido "hammond" tendría su hueco en este blog. Empezamos con este cuarteto Danés y su primer disco, un mini CD con siete (bueno, seis) temas. El grupo hace jazz, funk, soul.... hammond y sus integrantes no son nuevos en esto, aunque la formación es oficial desde 2005, ya curtidos en un montón de directos donde versionean lo que les apetece, desde a "Link Quartet", "Beatles" o "Jesucristo Superstar"..... Un par de esos directos los podeís bajar/escuchar aqui en formato de un solo archivo mp3. Ya tuve la paciencia de editar, separar y poner titulo a todos los temas.....
Leslie Overdrive pertenecen al sello discográfico "Hammondbeat", sello puntero en el sonido hammond con gente como Link Quartet, Captain Hammond, Paolo Apollo Negri, Phat Fred, The Yards, The Get Up, The Men From SPECTRE........ grupos que irán saliendo poco a poco, bueno, y los que me he olvidado....... Atended un momento a la presentación que aparece en la página de Hammondbeat de Leslie Overdrive:

In the beginning God created the four men.
Now these four men were square and empty, darknesswas over the surface of their souls, and the Spirit of Godwas hovering over them.
And God said, "Let there be Hammond," and there was Hammond. God saw that the Hammond was good, andHe separated the Hammond from the Leslie. God calledthe Hammond "funk," and the Leslie he called "soul."And there was funk, and there was soul - Leslie Overdrive.

It was in 2003 that Craig and Kapper first met. They quickly discovered their mutual love of swirling Hammond and thus, there was only one way forward.In early ’05 they came into contact with Kristian who joined their former cabaret-project “Funksovs” (Funkgravy). But only a few months after the arrival of “The Reverend” they decided to turn the boat in a whole new direction. Teaming up with Craig’s childhood schoolmate Mads, all four now looked onwards and upwards towards a future filled with fun, love and buckets full of Hammond.
