TAKING MY TIME

"Matthew Kaminski prefers a dark, throaty tone from his B3, and Taking My Time is full of richly phrased vamps and hard-swinging accompaniment from three different drummers. Kaminski moves easily from the deep funk of Richard 'Groove' Holmes 'Sweatin' to a Latin-tinged version of Brian Wilson's 'Caroline, No', but his strenth lies in generating momentum on tunes like Lou Donaldson's 'Hot Dog' and his own 'Flip the Lid'. . ."
- DownBeat Magazine - James Hale

"Hammond B-3 organist Matthew Kaminski hails from Georgia, and offers a new and different perspective to playing his instrument, combining some aspects of soul-jazz, funk, standards, and be-bop on select tracks from this, his mid-major-label debut. Blessed with a great deal of taste but not overwhelming chops, Kaminski balances his sound just right with jazz and blues, covering only a few classics and dealing his original compositions with a full hand of face cards. . ."
 - All Music Guide - Michael G. Nastos

"Kaminski's organ takes on a warm church tone with burping bass pedal and a murmuring low register. Surprises on the disc include a bright take on the Beach Boys' "Caroline, No." It is given a full-bore treatment like the one given Richard "Groove" Holmes' "Sweatin,'" well integrated and swinging. . ."
- All About Jazz - C. Michael Bailey

"The resident organist at Turner Field, the Atlanta Braves’ ballpark, Matthew Kaminski struts his jazzy stuff on covers of Lou Donaldson’s funky “Hot Dog” and Richard “Groove” Holmes’ uptempo blues romp 'Sweatin,' along with swinging renditions of standards 'It Might as Well Be Spring' and 'Where or When' and a gorgeous take on 'Moonlight in Vermont'. . ."
