Biamp Portland Jazz Festival: Parlor Greens
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Perhaps one of the most exciting and anticipated projects in heavy instrumental music is Parlor Greens, a fresh organ trio on Colemine Records! You could say that Parlor Greens are greater than the sum of their parts…however, the individual parts are simply stellar on their own. Tim Carman (GA-20) on drums, Jimmy James (True Loves, formerly Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio) on guitar, and Adam Scone (Scone Cash Players, The Sugarman 3) on organ.
Scone is perhaps the most tasteful living organist on planet Earth (and beyond), and to watch him play is to truly watch a master at work. He bends the organ to his will like a true master craftsman. He’s a veteran of the soul revival scene, having played on many Daptone recording sessions since their inception, but also has learned from some of the legends of soul jazz: Melvin Sparks and The Turbanator himself Dr. Lonnie Smith. Jimmy James needs no introduction to many as he’s been seen all over the world performing with instrumental groups The True Loves and the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio. Perhaps the most dangerous right hand in all of soul music, his signature funky approach can be identified by even the most novice of music fans, a feat most musicians could only dream of. Tim Carman. The backbone. The pocket. Having cut his teeth touring the world with blues group GA-20, Carman’s expertise in the world of blues shuffles might make him an unlikely candidate to lay the foundation for the funky Parlor Greens, but this debut LP shows otherwise. Steady, heavy pockets and as funky as they come.
The Biamp Portland Jazz Festival is a ten-day multi-venue celebration of jazz presented in Portland, Oregon. The Festival is dedicated to evolving America’s art form and features recognized jazz masters and rising stars alongside local jazz heroes.
