“Get the album, and catch them live while you still can.”
Organics ,featuring Justin Carroll on Hammond organ, John Moriarty on guitar and Kevin Brady on drums, strike that fine balance between tradition and innovation. Ireland’s leading organ trio, they were awarded the Music Network’s Young Musicwide Award in 2004. All three contribute excellent tunes to an almost entirely original set , the only exception being an arch reworking of the theme from Postman Pat. Get the album, and catch them live while you still can".

“New Light evokes the most characterful performances by a fine group now reaping the rewards of years of dedicated playing together”
Organics – John Moriarty (Guitar), Justin Carroll ( Hammond Organ) and Kevin Brady (drums) – are the first jazz group to win the Music Network’s Young Musicwide award. This CD is effectively a culmination of the trio’s gains under this programme. Instrumentally , the line-up has a venerable , blues drenched jazz tradition , and Organics have tried to broaden it somewhat with an album almost exclusively of originals by band members. It yields its rewards , perhaps most persuasively on Brady’s fine Elysian Fields ,which has some of their most unbuttoned playing. But it’s probably the pieces that come closer to the tradition ( Downhoe , According to John and rockers Angela’s Kitchen and Give up the Cake) that evoke the most characterful performances by a fine group now reaping the rewards of years of dedicated playing together".
