O’s Notes: This is an organ trio with young guitarist Graham Dechter and Jeff Hamilton (d) supporting leader Hashimoto on the B3. They cook on “So In Love” with Dechter soloing like a polished veteran. The cover of “What A Wonderful World” is a dynamic mellow break amidst mostly swinging blues arrangements. It is a decent set marking the third recording with Hamilton and Hashimoto. It is an energetic club set.
