People who write about music, myself included, tend to focus on important, pivotal sounds. Yet musicians can't change history with groundbreaking ideas every night. Live music in particular usually serves as functional entertainment. That's the case here. The muscular organ trio of Shirley Scott, Jimmy Forrest and Randy Marsh simply run through a set on standards on this 1978 set. And that's exactly how it should be.
