DOWN BEAT Review
May 2001

Undervalued Hammond B-3 master Denham, who has worked with the likes of Gatemouth Brown, Albert King and Tony Joe White, blurs the dividing line between blues and jazz with a groove he calls "blazz" on this appealing Joey DeFrancesco-produced album.

Alongside drummer Dave Cook and ex-Marvin Gaye guitarist Mike Howard, he uses his console, notably the bass pedals, with acuity and real feeling whether refurbishing "Willow Weep For Me" or pushing full-steamahead on "But I Should." Denham's an OK singer in a Lou Rawls-meets-Arthur Prysock bag. One indiscretion: The synth-sticky "Over The Rainbow."
