Irwin Hall - We In It! (July 2021)

"We In It!" is my take on the classic organ sound I grew up with in my home state of NJ. I was fortunate enough to come up on the tail end of the famed Newark Organ Jazz scene where, in its heyday, greats like Larry Young, Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Charles Earland, Shirley Scott and more would regularly pass through, and I fell in love with the sound of the organ trio. With this project, we put our own spin on the stripped down trio format and surely hope you do enjoy!
