O’s Notes: Jermaine is a German born Sinti gypsy who has played piano and guitar since he was 11 years old. He switched to the B3 a few years ago and leaves the guitar work to veteran Pat Martino and Andreas Oberg for Getting Blazed. Harvey Mason (d), James Genus (b) and Gary Meek (sax) round out the band. They cook on Martino’s “Three Base Hit” and take it up a notch on “Babik” with everyone contributing to the pyrotechnics. We also liked “Ballada para J” featuring berg and “Night Ballad” led by Meek. There is a lot of variety in this B3-led band.
