Jared Gold: All Wrapped Up

by Bruce Lindsay
April 28, 2011

Jared Gold's fourth album as leader, All Wrapped Up, finds fresh faces joining the organist as he releases his first recording without a guitarist. This is also Gold's first all-originals album--although he shares the writing credits with his band mates, who each contribute a tune. The new lineup and new tunes ensure that this album, and Gold's playing, sounds bright and upbeat from the off. All Wrapped Up is Gold's follow-up to 2010's relaxed, almost laidback Out Of ...

Jared Gold: All Wrapped Up

by Dan Bilawsky
April 22, 2011

There's a noticeable change in organist Jared Gold's sonic template of choice, before All Wrapped Up even begins. While two out of Gold's three prior releases were quartet outings that used saxophone as the lone horn voice, all three releases were rooted in the traditional organ trio instrumental format. A different guitarist graced each one of those records, with Randy Napoleon, Ed Cherry and Dave Stryker each putting their own unique stamp on Gold's music, but the organist clearly felt ...

Jared Gold: Out Of Line

by Bruce Lindsay
September 17, 2010

If a single word is needed to describe Out Of Line, organist Jared Gold's third album as leader, then that word is cool. If two words are required, they're laid back, for this is a late-night groove sort of a record, where the band seldom tries to break sweat--with the notable exception of Hank Mobley's “An Aperitif"--but creates, instead, a smooth, relaxed feel that relies on delicate interplay. Drummer Mark Ferber keeps firm control of the music's ...

Jared Gold: Out Of Line

by Dan Bilawsky
September 16, 2010

Despite the implications that live within a title like Out Of Line, organist Jared Gold's third Posi-Tone release is rather in tune with the history and vibe of organ groups and all that goes with them. Gold is joined by some top notch east coast talent, in the form of guitarist Dave Stryker, drummer Mark Ferber and saxophonist Chris Cheek, and all four musicians seem to gel well from the very start. Gold might have eclectic tastes, with covers ranging ...

Jared Gold: Out of Line

by C. Michael Bailey
September 8, 2010

The age of the classic chitlin' circuit organ combo passed away with Jimmy Smith in 2005. Regardless, greasy-spoon organ jazz is still frequently summoned, if only in approximate form, beating the alternative of no new mainstream B3 music at all. New Yorker Jared Gold tore things up on his Supersonic (Posi-Tone, 2009) and Dan Pratt's Toe The Line (Posi-Tone Records, 2010), and continues to do so on Out of Line. And how can an album go wrong ...

Jared Gold: Supersonic

by Chris May
October 28, 2009

The organ trio, back in the day at the sharp end of sonic technology--electric organs! electric guitars! special effects!--sounds in 2009 the most dated of hard bop retentions. Compare Jimmy Smith's Blue Note collection, A New Sound - A New Star, recorded in 1956, with many new millennial outings in the style, and try to find any substantial differences. The biggest change is that what once must have sounded thoroughly cutting edge now sounds revivalist, even quaint.
