Nightcrawlers "Funky Mamma"

Hey sorry about the crappy camera angle...stay tuned for some better footage.

"The Night Crawlers are a quintet of Vancouver musicians dedicated to preserving the sound and vibe of the great 1960's Hammond B3 organ bands. Led by drummer Jesse Cahill and inspired by the music of Brother Jack McDuff, The Mighty Burner, Big John Patton, and Booker T and the MG's, the Night Crawlers play gritty, soulful, down home music that's all about having a good time. Their first CD "Presenting" was nominated for "Album of the Year" at the National Jazz Awards and received 3.5 stars in Downbeat Magazine. Their new recording "Night Crawlers With Big Band Sound" will be released on CD and LP in January 2011 on Cellar Live."



Here's what Ken Micallef of Down Beat Magazine had to say about "Presenting":


"It s hard to make a bad organ trio record, give the associations a whirring Leslie can conjure in our collective jazz perception. But when organ grinder Chris Gestrin mans the Hammond, a great record emerges. Gestrin plays with Vancouver, B.C. s Night Crawlers, exponents of the holy grail of 1960 s organ swing. Recorded live at Vancouver s Cellar Nighclub, the operative word on Presenting is authenticity, from mixing the recorded digital files on 2 -- inch tape to sweltering performances of material by Big John Patton, Jack McDuff and Horace Silver. The Night Crawlers play like a decades-old organization, possessing the swagger, muscle and greasy swing feel of yesteryear s great. This live record is practically a time machine."
