about

Blue mode representing perfectly the Soul Jazz and Hammond Funk scene today, gets his name directly from one of Reuben Wilson’s album. Reuben Wilson one of the most prolific organist in the late 60’s early 70’s contributed to the spreading and recognition of this music ! Blue mode is a summary of all this musical legacy. Groove, Groove and even more Groove !

Space Race is their first album recorded fully analog live in their own studio in Madrid like back in the days. The result is a pure sound with no technical effects that leave plenty of space to the musicians to cook spontaneously their own way.

Blue mode is…

Chip Wickham flute and tenor saxophone ;
Composer and arranger Chip Wickham is the undisputed leader of the band and appears on a multitude of projects as a side man or again as an arranger, The New Mastersounds, Deep Street Soul, Eddie Roberts and the Fire Eaters, The Sweet Vandals…

Javier ‘Skunk’ Gómez drums ;
Being the drummer of the now disappeared spanish soul funk band Sweet Vandals, Javier Gómez has developed a taste for groovy and syncopated beats in a Bernard Purdie style. He is a master at playing deep long grooves.

Gabri Casanova Hammond® B3 organ, clavinet & Wurlitzer® piano ;
Gabri Casanova who composed most of the tracks is now an accomplished organist. From Jimmy Smith to Lonnie Smith, his influences are without doubt obvious as much as his playing, doing it fluid in order to serve a faultless groove.

Telmo Fernandez guitar ;
Telmo Fernandez is a worthy successor to Boogaloo Joe Jones or even Melvin Sparks, these guitarists who brought a deep funky groove to the jazz thing.

David Romano as special guest on congas (tracks 2, 5) ;
