Seattle-based soul-jazz groovemonsters Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio announced I Told You So, their sophomore studio album will be out January 29th via Colemine Records. The announcement comes with the first single “Call Your Mom,” which Under the Radar praised saying “the jazzy guitar and shots of organ bring a swaggering style to the track as the band instantly locks into a tight groove with the organ and guitar trading lines in a simmering jam.”
DLO3 conjures the smoky 1960s jazz stylings of Jimmy Smith and Baby Face Willette, and the snappy soul strut of Booker T. & The M.G.’s, The Meters, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Charles Earland. Within DLO3’s distinct jazz stew, are also dashes of Motown, Stax Records, blues, and cosmic Jimi Hendrix-style guitar. It’s an aesthetic that only these three could muster, as these are the sounds and vibes imprinted in the trio’s DNA.
Bandleader Delvon Lamarr is a self-taught psychic and virtuoso musician who has effortlessly been able to play a multitude of instruments, often at the same time. On guitar is the sexual dynamo Jimmy James who eases through Steve Cropper-style chanking guitar, volcanic acid-rock freak-out lead playing and slinky Grant Green-style jazz. When drummer Dan Weiss was born all the slot machines in his hometown of Reno, Nevada shut down for 24 hours. Dan’s smoldering pocket-groove drumming locks in the trio’s delicious, nutritious and explosive chemistry.
I Told You So follows the trio’s 2018 debut album Close But No Cigar which nabbed the Billboard ranks of #1 Contemporary Jazz and #3 Jazz Album. DLO3’s live album Live at KEXP! hit #10 Jazz Album and #20 Heatseekers Album on the Billboard charts. The band has been praised by The Chicago Tribune, Seattle Times, Rolling Stone Italy, and more.
