The Jazz Organ Scene

Italy

Paolo Negri Paolo "Apollo" Negri was born in 1979. At the age of 16 he founded his first group (NICE PRICE), a psychedelic-prog trio with great influences from The Nice, Quatermass and Arthur Brown. In 1997, after NICE PRICE split, he joined THE LINK QUARTET, an instrumental 60's jazz oriented band. With this group he recorded two '45s for the Spanish label Animal Records and two albums (Episode 1 and Beat.it) and joined the American label Hammondbeat Records.   He performed as support for the James Taylor Quartet, Brian Auger's Oblivion Express, Manu Chao, The Chocolate Watchband and many others, playing all around Italy, Europe and USA. In 2003, "Apollo" joined the WICKED MINDS, a hard progressive band with great influences from 2066 and Then, Orange Peel and Murphy Blend, and realized a limited edition LP called Crazy Technicolor Delirium Garden.   His Hammond style reminds Brian Auger, The Mohawks, and in a certain way Booker T, but keeps always a strong personality.   Nowadays, he collaborates with several groups such as Ray Daytona & The Googoobombos, Wicked Minds, Titty Twisters and John Belpaese.
