The disturbing, distorted Hammond organ sound is a natural fit for a free jazz combo. With a pedigree including low-cost church pipe organ substitute, novelty instrument (vide Walt Disney’s Blame It On The Samba, part of his 1948 animated film Melody Time, where a Carmen Mirandered Ethel Smith plays a Hammond as it’s blown to bits by ‘toon Aracuan) and jazz cool tool bar none courtesy of Smiths - Jimmy and Dr Lonnie - McGriff, Patton, Young et al, the B3 and Leslie cabinet’s overblown bastard tones one minute toying, the next destroying, were made to play the freedom sound. Ra did it (free jazz funk on Lanquidity, 1978) but the Hammond has been over-looked by the improv community. Which is a surprise as it combines huge tonal potential with visceral attack, speed of articulation and sheer presence and volume that, when geared to a powerhouse drum ‘n bass combo (as here), creates compelling, reality-jarring music. Alexander Hawkins has a pipe organ background (which is the ideal grounding for the Hammond – you can hear his churchy tones during this album’s playout) and exploits the potential of the C3 to the full – pulls out all the stops, in fact. From the interstellar sounds of the opening Outside In and slick be-bopisms of Decoy to some fine spine-juddering scronches interspersed in Shadows. Rhythm team Noble and Edwards never let it rest (of course), interjecting – injecting, imposing, prompting, inspiring, kick-assing and generally motoring along in fine style. It takes great players at the top of their game to play solo and rhythm at one and the same time without compromising either role and Noble and Edwards together are able to effectively lock down a groove while using their own instruments (Noble’s cymbal work, Edwards bowing) to counterpoint Hawkins’ organ’s additive waveform synthesis, almost becoming tone generators themselves, so at times the three fuse in one, augmented, Hammond. ~ boweavilrecordings.com  Об альбоме (сборнике)The Hammond organ hasn't often been used for truly out jazz - most of the time, players deploy it in the service of soul- and gospel-based grooves. Sure, Larry Young got somewhat psychedelic on the instrument toward the end of his career in the early '70s, but players like Jimmy Smith, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Big John Patton, hard groovers all, are much more within the tradition. Well, Decoy - a trio composed of organist Alexander Hawkins, bassist John Edwards, and drummer Steve Noble - are taking the Hammond all the way out. Edwards and Noble are a well-established team in U.K. avant-garde jazz/improv circles, having backed guitarists Derek Bailey and Steve Noble, saxophonist Alan Wilkinson, and many other similarly unfettered players throughout the years. The organ, being both an electric and a chordal instrument, has some limitations that the saxophone lacks, but Hawkins is capable of creating both a powerful roar and a delicate hum with equal ease. On the opening cut, "Outside In," he quickly establishes just how free and noisy things may get, but on the short "Who's Who" that follows, Edwards and Noble set up a hard-swinging groove over which he plays remarkably straight blues. But when "Decoy" starts, he moves to the instrument's lower end, creating a left-hand rumble that'll move books off the listener's shelves as Edwards bows the bass and Noble rattles his cymbals and snare like a machine gun far off in the distance, blasting away at a tin shed. This is a far from one-dimensional group, and the musicians' interactions head in different directions on almost every track. With only three instruments, they create a multitude of worlds for the listener to get lost in. Impressive, visceral stuff. ~ phil freeman, allmusic.comThe Hammond organ is a divisive instrument. It was overused in '60s rock and is forever associated with the hopelessly dated Doors, and resurrecting it runs the risk of being viewed as an ironic in-joke. Vol. 1: Spirit, the debut from Decoy - a trio of veteran U.K. jazz and improv artists, Alexander Hawkins (organ), John Edwards (bass), and Steve Noble (drums) - is a surprisingly successful rehabilitation of an oft-derided instrument. Central to the album’s success is the group’s refusal to deploy the organ in a predictable manner. Opener “Outside In” serves as a vetting process for the potential listener, pairing bowed bass meanderings with technically impressive but decidedly abstract percussion from Noble and drenched in a thick sheen of aggressive organ squeal. The track navigates between progressive free jazz practice and the clatter generated by the noisier experiments of artists from a pop background like John Lennon and Yoko Ono (Two Virgins) to Jim O’Rourke (Two Organs). “Decoy” sees the trio jettisoning a groove-based sound, beginning with a tentative percussive gestures and minimalist organ flourishes. The track has a claustrophobic feel and refuses to submit to forward momentum until the bitter end. If “Decoy” is the launching pad, then “Episode No. 69” is a journey to the stars, an atonal but compulsively listenable example of exhilarating improv that recalls jazz as much as forward-thinking contemporary post rockers like Tape. “Native Origins” is the longest and most deliberately composed track. Here, the Hammond is pushed to its breaking point and resembles the sound of an early synthesizer. Noble is startlingly direct in his drumming, playing with less reserve than on the preceding tracks. Edward’s relatively conservative bass work serves as a strong counterpoint to Hawkin’s aggro organ attack. Eventually all hell breaks loose in the second half of the track, a punishing and relentless aural assault. Spirit works as an organ record precisely because it rarely sounds like an organ record. It’s impossible to disguise the sound of a Hammond, but it’s very possible to innovatively incorporate the organ as a lead instrument, as Decoy prove. Some traditional church music has a strong tradition of organ improvisation, and in France organ improvisation is a revered tradition. The members of Decoy prove that in the right hands even the most unlikely of instruments can be the key ingredient of progressive and provocative modern music. ~ max burke, prefixmag.com  СоставAlexander Hawkins - hammond C3 organ John Edwards - double bass Steve Noble - drums, percussion
