The Night Crawlers are a quintet of Vancouver musicians dedicated to preserving the sound and vibe of the great 1960’s Hammond B3 organ bands. Led by drummer Jesse Cahill and inspired by the music of Brother Jack McDuff, The Mighty Burner, Big John Patton, and Booker T and the MGs, the Night Crawlers play gritty, soulful, down-home music that’s all about having a good time. Their first CD Presenting was nominated for Album of the Year at the National Jazz Awards and received 3.5 stars in DownBeat Magazine. Their latest recording Night Crawlers With Big Band Sound was released on CD and LP in January 2011 on Cellar Live.
“Recorded live at Vancouver’s Cellar Nightclub, the operative word on Presenting is authenticity, from mixing the recorded digital files on 2 – inch tape to sweltering performances of material by Big John Patton, Jack McDuff and Horace Silver. The Night Crawlers play like a decades-old organization, possessing the swagger, muscle and greasy swing feel of yesteryear’s great. This live record is practically a time machine.” DownBeat Magazine
