jazz organist
Having started as a pianist, Garrett Jacobson initially became interested in the Hammond organ as a teenager after hearing records by Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff. He soon developed a passion for the instrument, and started playing jazz organ dates in Oklahoma City while simultaneously maintaining a busy schedule as a blues artist. His third record, Soul Buffet (2004), was his debut recording as a jazz organist. A musical collage of sorts, the album is predominantly a blues guitar set with the latter half of the album featuring Garrett's working organ trio at the time. After years of continuous performing, he released his first dedicated jazz organ record, "In The Moment", in 2014. The record finds Garrett in the classic trio format serving up a set of tasteful originals, blues, and standards. With songs such as the hard-swinging title track In The Moment and the blues-drenched Skillet Gravy, Garrett's solid bass feel and lyrical phrasing creates plenty of memorable tracks.
