Raphael Wressnig
Wressnig's Hammond playing thrives on a practically inexhaustible palette of tones, from vibrating basses to luminous, gospel-infused high notes. He lets the B-3 sing, hum and scream as he constantly pushes the instrument to the limit. His current album, “Committed”, demonstrates why the Hammond organ is timeless.
Something that sounds so incredibly groovy, funky, soulful and bluesy, and which immediately makes us think of the “good times” requires excellent musicians with a grasp of all styles. Wressnig has toured with guitarist Enrico Crivellaro and drummer Eric Cisbani for many years, and the trio combines a contemporary sense of rhythm with raw roots sounds, demonstrating just how much soul and groove can be found in modern soul and blues.
