One of the finest performers on his instrument during the 1960s, American jazz organist Lou Bennett (1926-1997) was a bebop pianist prior to switching to the organ in 1956 after hearing Jimmy Smith. He toured the U.S. with an organ trio between 1957 and 1959, and then moved to Paris in 1960. There he recorded and performed at the Blue Note with Jimmy Gourley and Kenny Clarke, among others.
Both musicians are heard here (along with French bassist Jean-Marie Ingrand) backing Bennett. Recorded in Paris and reissued here in its entirety, "Amen" marks the organist’s debut album as a leader.
