Listening: Sam Fribush Trio

Keyboardist Sam Fribush is on the frontlines of the Hammond organ revival. His debut release, the SF Organ Trio, was produced by Charlie Hunter and recorded over quarantine in North Carolina. Fribush became a member of Hiss Golden Messenger in 2021. Currently based in Greensboro, NC, Fribush has brought his fonky, soulful vibe home to the town where he was born and raised.

My initial listening notes- Wide stereo image Natural bass drum with a kick! Keyboards nice further back in soundstage mix. Natural guitar work not strident. Big soundstage and imaging!! Not overly compressed. 5 stars. Those keyboards gradually sneak up in the mix. Fun! Toe tapping! Pleasent, solid bass guitar. Wish this EP was a full album! Mix of depth, large soundstage & center image is very balanced. Is that a Hammond B3? Yes it is! Percussion on “Fat Nap” clean and snappy!
