O’s Notes: Ramshackle Serenade is a dedication to the late jazz guitarist Jim Hall. The band is an organ trio featuring Larry Goldings on the B3, guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Bill Stewart. In addition to six originals, they play a few covers of classics. The pace is varied and the groove is tight, especially on “Sweet And Lovely” and “Peace”. These are polished musicians who skip the showboating and let the substance rise to the surface.
