On vinyl, One Finger Only showcases The Drawbars' dedication to the Hammond organ trio format—the same guitar-organ-drums configuration that made Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, and Brother Jack McDuff legends. The title references the Hammond's drawbar controls, signaling the band's commitment to authentic tone and technique over modern shortcuts. These are musicians who understand that soul-jazz is built on feel, not just facility.The Drawbars operate in territory pioneered by Soulive and Medeski Martin & Wood—organ trios who bring jam band improvisation to jazz-funk foundations. One Finger Only demonstrates their mastery of the form: greasy organ tones, guitar lines that sting and sing, and drumming that serves the groove without overshadowing it. The vinyl pressing emphasizes the warmth these vintage sounds demand, with the Hammond's rotating Leslie speaker captured in all its swirling glory.Vinyl LP. Hammond organ trio instrumental funk-jazz. Soul-jazz in the Jimmy Smith tradition. For fans of Soulive and Medeski Martin & Wood.
