If you’ve had the pleasure of dropping by the Sportsmen’s Tavern on any Saturday afternoon for the “Soul Jazz Matinees” over the past year, you’ve been digging the cool sounds of the Ronnie Davis Combo featuring the man himself on the sassy Hammond organ. If you haven’t checked it out yet, don’t miss this Saturday’s action (Nov. 3). The band hosts a CD release party at the club from 3-6pm, in celebration of Soul Jazz Midnite, a collection of originals that sounds like an unearthed gem from an old Booker T & the MGs recording session. But no, this nugget was laid down right next door to the bar in Sessions recording studio just this year. Prepare to be transported by this vintage style, a precursor to funk and acid jazz.
