Greg Lewis: Organ Monk
Questo fa sì che da una parte emerge il lato caratteriale di un album dalle forti connotazioni vintage, apprezabile per chi ama le sonorità dell'Hammond ancor prima delle composizioni del seminale pianista; dall'altra - non risultando praticamente mai come fonti primarie gli interventi di Jackson e Blackman - Organ Monk sulla lunga distanza risulta essere monocorde e in alcuni passaggi decisamente scialbo.
È preferibile dunque approcciarlo con un ascolto random, per il quale ci sentiamo di segnalare l'iniziale "Trinkle Tinkle," giacata su ritmo veloce e caratterizzata dal dialogo tra leader e chitarra, "Light Blue," segnata da fascinose venature bluesy, e la swingante "Coming in the Hudson".
