Editor's info:
Finding the common thread of unending groove, swing, and great fun from his experiences playing in a band with the mighty drummer Clyde Stubblefield, or hanging out with a major mentor figure, organist Dr. Lonnie Smith, Chicago organist Dan Trudell decided to celebrate both through these tunes he originally wrote for the band he led with Stubblefield. That the recording session ended up happening the day after the Dr.'s passing, their commitment to imbuing the music with the love, joy, and unbridled enthusiasm he always carried was without doubt. Drummer Dana Hall, guitarist Mike Standal, the horns of Pat Mallinger, John Wojciechowski and Joel Adams, and Trudell's slippery organ crackle with life through the straight-up funk of the title cut, the swamp groove of "Chocolate Martini," the swing-funk shout chorus of "Horse," or the intricate, off-kilter melody of "Holler Back" that unfolds into an inspired ride by Pat Mallinger on alto sax. Trudell's gratitude for the life and music lessons shared and experiences lived shines throughout Fishin' Again.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
... A keyboardist of great invention and energy, Trudell does some of his most creative work at the Hammond B-3

JAZZ WEEKLY
Hammond B3 man Dan Trudell gives a tribute to fellow hummer Dr. Lonnie Smith and drummer Clyde Stubblefield on this fun and funky session with Mike Standal/g, Dana Hall/dr, Pat Mallinger/as, John Wojciechowski/ts and Joel Adams in mix and match mode.Trudell splashes the keys in funky fashion around Standal's fluid lines on the title track, with everyone getting a chance to jump in, as well as on the blues swamp of "Scram". The Leslie speakers hum to Wojciechowski's tenor on "Glow Worm" while Mallinger and Adams ride the whitewater wave of Hall's backbeat on "Hip Hop Bach". Chunky grooves dominate "Holler Back" and Trudell fills the room on an organic "Chocolate Martini". The album has a hip night club jam session feel; all that's missing is the two drink minimum…
