Description
Pola Roberts’ light press roll into the title tune Soul Sisters tells you plenty about this organ quartet’s pocket: unhurried, earthy, and locked. Gloria Coleman leads with a warm, singing right hand while her left keeps the bass walking, and the guitar answers in tight phrases as sax slips in for lean choruses. Roberts gets a few tasty spots, including a crisp little break before the last chorus that makes the room lean forward.
This pressing opens out the space around organ and guitar, and the low end sits deeper, so Coleman’s pedals feel more like a heartbeat than a blur. The bluesier ballad on side two has the cymbals sitting nicely under the melody, never splashy, just steady air.
For Melbourne crate-diggers, it’s a sleeper that belongs beside Shirley Scott and the early 60s soul-jazz shelf. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Gloria Coleman records online with us. The cover art also finally looks as sharp as it deserves, avoiding the murk you see on some older reissues.
Spin it for a small gathering or a late solo tidy and notice how the groove fills the room without crowding it. The title track’s final vamp is where you’ll catch yourself grinning at how the quartet breathes as one.
