Hammond legend Hammond legend Dr. Lonnie Smith said "Mauri has great promise to join the masters of the hammondB. His organ flows with soul and beauty. He will carry on the flavor of the organ masters." And Dr. Lonnie Smith knows best, since after only 3 years of his debut album, Less is More, Mauri Sanchis has gained himself a place within the Hammond world, having received great compliments from public, media and colleague organists worldwide. Such great welcome led him to be signed by Hammond Europe as their first Spanish endorser ever and appointed Mauri to do the world's premiere demo of the Hammond XK System at Frankfurt's Musik Messe on April 2005.
No wonder why Pete Fallico, executive director of the Jazz Organ Fellowship (USA) writes in the liner notes of Mauri's new CD, Good Vibes!!! that "the Hammond organ is re-born at the hands of Mauri Sanchis". In Good Vibes!!!, his second solo album (released by BHM), Mauri is backed up by great s
tars like sax player Bill Evans, guitarists Dean Brown and Javier Vargas and organ player Joey DeFrancesco who plays a trumpet solo in the tune Beauty in the B, surrounded by the voices of organ personalities from 21 countries! According to Mark Vail (author of the book The Hammond Organ: Beauty in
the B), Good Vibes offers "an awesome entrée of funky jazz and deep-fried soul replete with Mauri's searing Hammond B-3 monster chops. Delectably tasty tracks ready for your consumption. An outstanding job!." Included with the album is "The Making of Good Vibes!!!", a very interesting behind-the
-scenes video with footage taken all through the production process including recording from all artists.
