Chris Foreman - Now Is the Time

2015 release from the acclaimed organist. Chris Foreman is considered by his peers to be the most exciting jazz and blues organist playing today. Critics have dubbed him "heir to the throne" held by past organ masters Charles Earland, Richard "Groove" Holmes, "Brother" Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff, and Jimmy Smith. Now Is The Time is Chris' first disc as a leader, and it includes plenty of blues and grooves. All tracks showcase Chris' prodigious talent and versatility on keyboards, and on some of the tracks his playing is inspired by friends Andy Brown on guitar or Diane "Lil' Sax" Ellis on alto.
