	Charles Earland - Biography - AOL Music
		Charles Earland came into his own at the tail end of the great 1960s wave of soul-jazz organists, gaining a large following and much airplay with a series of albums for the the Prestige label.
		Earland actually started his musical experiences surreptitiously on his father's alto sax as a kid, and when he was in high school, he played baritone in a band that also featured fellow Philadelphians Pat Martino on guitar, Lew Tabackin on tenor, and yes, Frankie Avalon on trumpet.
		Earland died of heart failure on December 11, 1999, the morning after playing a gig in Kansas City; he was 58.

		Earland cooked up what simply has to be some of the most soulful jazz grooves of our time.
		Charles Earland was a one of a kind performer who put a lot of grease and energy into his playing.
		Though Charles for sure had his bag, and may have relied on the same riffs and licks and tricks from album to album, he had his own thing going and applied his trademark ability to burn up the dance floor via Jazz transmitors and juke boxes from coast to coast...

	Charles Earland
		Charles says he's "attacking the instrument" when he plays and describes his sound as more staccato than legato.
		While Don Patterson may have given Charles that typewriter feel in soloing, Jack McDuff was the model for the organ combo sound that Charles was after.
		People close to Charles know the personal trials that he's experienced and fully understand the messages that are conveyed in his music.

	CD Review of Charles Earland - The Almighty Burner on 32 Jazz @ jazzreview.com
		Charles Earland (1941-1999) emerged on the jazz scene as the Great Wave of '60s Jazz Organ was cresting-the same "school" whose most popular exponents were Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff and Jimmy McGriff.
		Earland was heavily influenced by Smith, but had his own brisk, mercurial good-time uptown sound.
		The Carlos Santana tune "Europa" is given a stately, sultry and thoroughly cinematic treatment-and proves that Earland was not stuck in the '60s (or the '70s, for that matter).

	BBC - Jazz Review - Charles Earland, Black Drops
		Charles Earland came to his chosen instrument via a slightly unfortunate route.
		Within a short period of time Charles had mastered the complexities of this demanding instrument, including the schizophrenic task of playing bass with a combination of foot-pedal and left hand, as well as the dextrous runs across the keyboard that became his trademark.
		Earland would continue his run of successful workwith Prestige, moving further towards funky fusion as the 1970s progressed, transferring his talents to electric piano and synthesisers whilst enjoying crossover success before coming full circle and reclaiming his title as one of the kings of jazz organ in the late 1980s.

	freeform.org : Charles Earland
		Earland's final Prestige date was Kharma, recorded live at Montreux in 1974.
		The percussion is often buried in the mix and Earland's keyboards (he'd pretty much mothballed the organ by this point) are way too prominent.
		Earland went on to release The Great Pyramid a spotty space-disco venture, then returned to the organ and his soul jazz roots on Mama Roots after signing to Muse in 1977.

		There are of course exceptions to the rule, with deep catalogues like the masters Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Jack McDuff etc, and those that appear to be one-offs who closer research reveal to be players with interesting careers, like Toussaint McCall, Gene Ludwig and Dave Lewis.
		Earland first came to prominence with the release of his classic Prestige LP ‘Black Talk’ in 1969.
		Coming at a time when the popularity of Hammond players was beginning to decline, it was a hit, and the beginning of a string of excellent LPs that Earland would record for the label.

	Charles Earland
		By 1967 Earland had joined Lou Donaldson’s band, and with them recorded three LP’s for Blue Note, ‘Say It Loud’, ‘Hot Dog’ and ‘Everything I Play Is Funky’ (on which he shared Hammond duties with Lonnie Smith).
		It doesn’t help that Earland was fairly itinerant in his recording habits, playing major label dates for Blue Note and Prestige but occasionally returning to local Philadelphia labels as late as 1969.
		If you follow Earland’s stylistic evolution, starting out as a jazzier player and gradually adding a certain amount of soul and funk to his sound, it seems likely that the Quaker Town 45, ‘Daily Double Pts 1and2’ is his first recording.

	CHARLES EARLAND / LIVING BLACK!
		With his towering physique and monstrous chops, Charles “The Burner” Earland dominated the jazz-organ bars once scattered across the cities of the “Chitlins Circuit”.
		From the late-60's through the early-80's, Earland gigged heavily throughout the fl urban ghettos of the North, South and Midwest, conquering tough to please crowds with the blistering inferno of his fingers on the keys.
		They called him ‘The Burner’ because sitting in his groove was like riding the world’s most souped up Cadalliac.” Setting the pace with his funky walking-bass pedal grooves, Earland pulls the most surprising performances out of his fellow musicians, who play beyond their limitations and obscurity to shine like stars.

	Bagatellen: Charles Earland - Leaving This Planet (Prestige)
		Earland, better known as The Mighty Burner, made a name for himself via a handful of soul jazz ventures in the late 60s.
		Earland espouses a manifesto in common with the more accessible sides of Sun Ra.
		Earland himself handles that chore, his pedals working overtime so that a conventional upright presence isn’t even missed.

	Charles Earland - Black Talk! - Prestige RVG Remaster
		Many Hammond B-3 devotees consider Charles Earland to be greatly underrated as a B-3 master, worthy to be named in the upper echelon of B-3 masters such as Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Lonnie Smith and Jimmy McGriff, just to name a few.
		Earland's release created quite a stir upon its initial release in 1969 due to the fact that Charles picked three pop songs to be given the soul jazz treatment and he succeeded magnificently in his efforts.
		Earlands' backing band was the cream of the Prestige crop- each a star in their own right.

	Bagatellen: Charles Earland - Funk Fantastique
		By the time of the 71’ to 73’ stretch revisited on this recent Prestige compilation his sound was in full flower drawing in funk, soul and even free jazz leanings with Larry Young a prime influence.
		Earland ramps up another syncopated sustain-dyed solo in tandem with Cobham who then gets his own chance at impersonating the mighty Clyde Stubblefield as funky drummer par excellence.
		Earland’s switch to electric piano and the subtle acoustic guitar accents of Stuart Scharf embellish even more to the congenial island lounge vibe.

	Deep Groove Encyclopedia - Charles Earland
		One of the most forward-thinking jazz musicians to touch an keyboard, Charles Earland ranks somewhere between Herbie Hancock and Lonnie Liston Smith in terms of successfully integrating mainstream influences into his work.
		Originally a horn player, Earland learned the organ during breaks between gigs and soon made it his featured instrument.
		As the organ sound became outdated by newer, more expensive keyboards, Earland took up a variety of synthesizers to cook up the spacy, jazzy sounds that the audience demanded.

	Charles Earland \| Slammin' & Jammin'
		In the last few years Charles Earland became wildly prolific, unleashing a rash of recordings for the High Note, Savant and Cannonball labels.
		Earland's May 1997 recording of Slammin' & Jammin', recently released by Savant as part of their “Groove Master Series,” is among the Mighty Burner's very best.
		But Earland has always tried to vary his programs with a bit more substance (either exploring more seriously-regarded jazz standards or alternating the way you expect to hear certain sounds).

	CHARLES EARLAND: THE GREAT PYRAMID
		Perhaps one of Szabo's oddest associations is with Charles Earland for this ill-conceived disco ballad.
		Gabor pointlessly strums his acoustic guitar in over dubbed accompaniment while Charles Earland grumbles some truly silly lyrics.
		Earland, formerly an exciting organ grinder who made meaty music during his Prestige heyday, seems genuinely excited about Szabo's involvement; offering special thanks to the guitarist on the record sleeve.

	Charles Earland Tribute Band, Keepers of the Flame
		Charles Earland Tribute Band, Keepers of the Flame
		The organist Charles Earland – “The Mighty Burner” – died in December 1999, and this troupe of his favoured latterday sidemen assembled in Rudy Van Gelder’s studio six months later, with Joey DeFrancesco taking the big man’s role at the keys.
		Laudably, the band has avoided simply running through songs from Earland’s book, though the material nonetheless has a period flavour to it, dipping back into the 1970s for pop material from Dionne Warwick (“Déjà Vu”), Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway (“The Closer I Get To You”) and the Average White Band (“Pick Up the Pieces”).

	Black Drops, MP3 Album Music Download at eMusic
		The late '60s and early '70s were a very productive time for Charles Earland.
		Earland surrounds himself with mostly fellow Philadelphians, including tenor and soprano saxophonist Jimmy Heath, guitarist Maynard Parker, trombonist Clayton Pruden, and drummer Jimmy Turner -- in fact, the only non-Philadelphian on Black Drops is trumpeter Virgil Jones.
		Highlights of the LP range from the driving hard bop of Earland's "Buck Green" and John Coltrane's "Lazybird" to a funky workout on Sly Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" and some mellow, congenial grooving on "Don't Say Goodbye," and Burt Bacharach's "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head."

	Charles Earland : Perceptions - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Earland, one of the leading proponents of the Hammond B-3 organ, meets Randy Muller, the innovator of brassy riffs with Brass Construction, for a crossover attempt.
		Muller produced the set, and his brass arrangements are OK, but it's Earland's powerful organ that stays on point throughout.
		The first side is more jazz-disco fusion, while side two is more quiet storm-ish (except for the funky, relentless, nine-minute "Over and Over").

		Only two days after Intensity was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's famous New Jersey studio on February 17, 1972, the influential trumpeter was shot and killed by a girlfriend at the age of 33.
