It can be said that there’s now a distinct breed of Aussie funk, perhaps iconized by The Bamboos, with less afro caribbean influence than their counterparts. Cookin on 3 burners is a relatively new trio specializing in organ led jam & funk, featuring guitarist Lance Ferguson of The Bamboos, organist Jake Mason and drummer Ivan Khatchoyan. It’s basically the classic organ trio sound of Dr. Lonnie Smith, fed more funk and less jazz. A solid effort with good mixing sometimes sounding as powerful as an 8 piece orchestra, vocal help is by another rising Aussie star Kylie Auldist. Includes an au naturel cover of Gary Numan’s Cars. Nothing ground breaking here, but a highly enjoyable well-polished album if you’re into this sound. 3.5/5
