This album introduces a musician who is now considered as one of the most exciting blues, gospel, jazz and groove organists Specialized media considered him the direct heir of Charles Earland, Richard Groove Holmes, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff and, of course, legendary Jimmy Smith Blind from birth, Chris Foreman found in music his most natural way to express, which has provided him the necessary help to overcome all the difficulties he has found all over his life He began playing piano at the age of six and, although he knew to play by ear, his teacher, who was also blind, taught him to read music in braille Today Chris is a talented musician who has recorded many different times, both with The Deep Blue Organ Trio as well as The Kimberly Gordon Trio This instrumental album is the first he has done under his own name, thanks to the opportunity that Sirens Records owner Steven Dolins has given him Jazz standards together with some songs coming from his mentor Jimmy McGriff and a thrilling version of Lonely Avenue by Ray Charles, make up a delicious passionate recording, filled with first class jazz, blues and grooves, where Chris gives free rein to all his prodigious talent and the enormous versatility he is able to provide
