Should the Hammond organ need an unofficial professor that title could easily prefix the name of Brian Charette. The New York-based player was winner in the Rising Star category for the instrument in the 2014 Down Beat Critics’ Poll and fourth-placed in the main organ category in that same poll last year. He is also the author of 101 Hammond B3 Tips. Once & Future stresses the instrument's great practitioners, both ancient and modern, as Charette and his tight-fitting trio companions pay tribute to, among others, Larry Young, Jack McDuff and Jimmy Smith. While concentrating on the compositions of the jazz Hammond's founding fathers, he acknowledges in his sound and style his peer group – players like Gary Versace, Sam Yahel and Joey Defrancesco. Charette isn't particularly adventurous with the arrangements and interpretations, but then we're not listening to the Hammond creed being rewritten here; the delight is in the detail. What Charette doesn't know about specific drawbar settings is probably not worth knowing. Among the highlights are Charette's own bossa ‘Latin From Manhattan’, which inevitably calls Walter Wanderley to mind, Bud Powell's ‘Dance Of The Infidels’ and Jack McDuff's ‘Hot Barbeque’.
