{"product_id":"thompson-chester-powerhouse-2025-reissue","title":"Thompson, Chester - Powerhouse (2025 Reissue)","description":"With long-standing stints in Tower of\nPower and Santana, Chester Thompson\njust might be the most decorated and\ndistinguished keyboardist in all of rock\nand R\u0026amp;B, let alone of the Bay Area musical\nscene. It’s little wonder that this 1971\nalbum, then, is one of the rarest and most\ncoveted albums on the highly collectible\nBlack Jazz Records label—it’s Thompson’s\ndebut record, cut a couple of years before\nhe joined Tower of Power, with a smokin’\nband featuring fellow Black Jazz recording artist Rudolph Johnson on sax along with ace drummer\nRaymond Pounds (Pharoah Sanders, Stevie Wonder, Pointer Sisters) and trombonist Al Hall (Johnny\nHammond, Freddie Hubbard, Eddie Harris). And, yes, Powerhouse comes by its title honestly…it’s jazz,\nall right, but injected with a jolt of electricity courtesy of Thompson’s Hammond B-3, and with just four\ntunes spread out over two sides, it’s pretty much a nonstop groove. Liner notes feature quotes from\nfellow Tower of Power member Dave Garibaldi and Bay Area keyboardist Todd Cochran a.k.a. Bayeté\nthat testify as to Chester Thompson’s greatness","brand":"Real Gone Music","offers":[{"title":"Limited Blue With Black Swirl Lp (750 Only)","offer_id":50241886519574,"sku":"RMX-45661","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/adafc8f571d4560394b762d5e3df24c7.jpg?v=1752633017","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/thompson-chester-powerhouse-2025-reissue","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
