Review
Jazz projects on pipe resp. church organs get more and more popular. This is one of the first from the British Isles and represents a moderate jazz style. Ramsden and Lodder partially go back to Baroque elements. Their play is full of harmony and straight lines. It's a pity that the organ throughout nearly the complete album plays the part of an accompanist, rather than of a soloist. Nevertheless, both artists show a high level of skill. The album is pleasant to be listened to.
