Family Business by Jim Alfredson

Jim Alfredson brings everyone together for his first release as a leader for Posi-Tone Records. With all-star horn players supporting a top notch organ trio in combination with a stunning program of new compositions and innovative arrangements, “Family Business“ clearly demonstrates Alfredson’s musical leadership and his total mastery of the Hammond organ. This hard hitting sextet session features the inspired front line playing of Diego Rivera on tenor saxophone, Alex Sipiagin on trumpet, and Michael Dease on trombone, along with the cool comping of Will Bernard on guitar, and the steady metrics of EJ Strickland on drums. Jazz fans everywhere will certainly agree that Jim Alfredson’s “Family Business” is a swinging good time that people of all ages can dig into over and over again!
