"In 2001 Bobby Forrester, organist and bandleader for legendary R&B singer Ruth Brown, was leading a Hammond B3 resurgence in New York City, hosting a regularly packed Sunday gig at the world famous Smalls nightclub, where many of New York's great jazz and blues musicians would sit in. "Organic Chemistry" was recorded on a particularly heated night, at the suggestion of Smalls regular Louis X. Erlanger, former guitarist of the group Mink DeVille and more recently producer of blues singer R.L. Burnside. The lineup included the great but under-recorded tenor saxophonist Bubba Brooks, who had spent many years in Bill "Honky Tonk" Doggett's band, William Ash on guitar, and Tootsie Bean (another Ruth Brown alumnus) on drums. The result is a propulsive set of swinging, soulful music that is, surprisingly, Forrester's first and only CD under his own name. Liner notes for "Organic Chemistry" were written by Phil Schaap, who has won multiple Grammy awards for his compilations of Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong and others."
