Mike Carr | Hammond Under Pressure (w/ Tony Crombie) | Album

Released in 1968, Hammond Under Pressure is a high-energy collaboration between jazz organist Mike Carr and drummer Tony Crombie. Reviewers frequently highlight Mike Carr's exceptional skill on the Hammond B3, particularly his "dancing on the pedals". Because Carr provided his own bass lines via the organ’s foot pedals, the duo achieved a full, swinging sound that rivalled traditional trios. The album is noted for its "soul-jazz" and "easy listening" qualities, blending "exceptionally groovy" Hammond melodies with sophisticated compositions. Jazz critics often place it among the best organ albums of the era.
