about

Alive & Kickin'!, the latest CD by organissimo, displays the soul-jazz trio at the top of their game in front of a live and lively audience. Recorded at WKAR-TV in Studio A as part of the television series BackStage Pass, Alive & Kickin'! brilliantly showcases the amazing ensemble interplay and seamless improvisations that are hallmarks of organissimo's sound.

The track listing reads like a set of "greatest hits" from organissimo's repertoire of live favorites. Songs from all three studio albums are extended, revitalized, and re-interpreted in the moment, spurred to new places by the energy from the crowd. This is organissimo at their funky best! Alive & Kickin'! bristles and roars with electricity and fire. The group's near telepathic reactions, honed from years of playing on the road together, are captured in beautiful high fidelity sound.
