With the passing of legends like Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff in the past decade, Eric Scortia is one of a small handful of heirs to the rich legacy of the Hammond B3 organ � the source of a shimmering and hypnotic sound that has permeated R&B, jazz, blues, soul, gospel, funk, pop, rock and country music for more than a half-century. While some artists specialize in one or two of these varied styles, Scortia has firmly positioned himself as not only a master of them all, but an innovator who borrows from each and creates mesmerizing hybrids that defy any quick and easy categories. This combination of versatility and ingenuity is the driving force behind The Tone Generator, Scortia�s new album released on his own Organ-Ized Records. Aided by a three-man crew whose individual credentials span several decades and a host of prominent affiliations, Scortia reinterprets a variety of jazz and pop standards � along with a few lesser-known nuggets � and filters them all through his infectious groove-oriented perspective. While the list of songwriters featured within the album�s eleven tracks ranges from Chester Thompson to Aretha Franklin to Bobbie Gentry to Oscar Hammerstein, Scortia lives up to his nickname of �The Scorch� by turning up the heat, leaving an unmistakable mark, and making every piece of music he touches his own.
