Info for Royal Flush

The Preacher Men preach the groove, with roaring saxophone, growling Hammond organ and drums that will make you move.

Whether they play a moody late night ballad or a propulsive groove, this supertrio featuring saxophonist Efraïm Trujillo, organist Rob Mostert and drummer Chris Strik always sounds soulful. The Preacher Men will present their new album Royal Flush on ZenneZ Records. It is the follow-up to Blue, winner of the Edison Audience Award in 2019.

Band leader Efraïm Trujillo sets the tone with his atmospheric sax and unique E♭ blues horn. Trujillo also plays in The Ploctones and is the musical leader of the Amsterdam Funk Orchestra. Rob Mostert is literally keeping himself on his toes, as he plays the pedals of his B3 organ barefoot. Drummer Chris Strik has been praised in Slagwerkkrant as ‘the most agile drummer in The Netherlands’.

The Preacher Men
A ripping saxophone, a deep-growling Hammond organ and back beats that you simply can not sit still to.

After the release in 2016 of their widely acclaimed debut Preaching Out Loud ( ‘The Preacher Men are a new super trio!’, according to Jazzism ), and intense gigging, The Preacher Men returned to the studio this Spring to record their 2nd album entitled BLUE, an ode to the Blues.

And yes, it refers to the music genre as well as to the mood. Captured in 9 ‘groovy-blue’ songs, 7 of them are brand new compositions by saxophonist and bandleader Efraim Trujillo. The legendary engineer / producer Al Schmitt collaborated with the Dutch trio on some of the recordings.

Now let the Preacher Men take you back to the time of smoky bluesclubs in the southern states. They are gathered here to convert you to their soulful & funky music! So, come on dear beloved brothers & sisters, and join today’s services. Amen!

This album contains no booklet.
