About Me |
|
| After a decade plying their groove trade, the NICK ROSSI SET have become internationally know as San Francisco's premiere Hammond organ combo. With a discography that includes releases on such hip labels as Acid Jazz, Blow It Hard, and Record Kicks; the group continues to find fans world-wide. Their sound has dug deep into the classic soul jazz bags of Blue Note & Prestige Records from the first great era of right-on sounds. Their debut full-length disc, ON THE OUTSET (2006), is available in stereo on CD from Hammondbeat Records, in hi-fi mono on LP from Flare Records, and as a download from iTunes.The group is currently on an extended hiatus. Watch this space for regular updates. | |
