Review by Ashley Cooper

Sentimental Journey This Love Of Mine – Cliff Duphiny And His Organ With A Beat Alright, let’s get into this wild ride of an album. Sentimental Journey This Love Of Mine by Cliff Duphiny and his freakin’ organ is one helluva trip back to the quirky jazz era where space-age vibes were all the rage. Released under Fine Records in the US, it's got that retro charm but with enough edge to slap you outta your seat if you’re not paying attention. First off, let’s talk about “This Love Of Mine.” Man, this track hits like a punch in the gut—except instead of pain, it’s pure groove. The Hammond organ takes center stage here, dripping with so much swagger you’d think it was auditioning for some cosmic spy flick. It's slow, sultry, yet oddly futuristic; imagine sipping neon-colored martinis on Mars while wearing shades indoors. You can’t help but remember this tune because it feels like Duphiny just said, "Screw subtlety," then cranked every dial up to eleven. That beat? Insane. Those chords? Even crazier. It sticks with you long after the needle lifts off the record. Then there’s “Sentimental Journey,” which flips the vibe entirely. If “This Love Of Mine” is a laser show at a galactic rave, this one’s more like staring at old black-and-white photos through smoky glasses. It’s smoother than butter melting on a stack of pancakes, man. The melody floats around like it doesn’t have a care in the world, pulling at heartstrings without even trying. There’s something raw and real about how Duphiny lets the notes breathe—it ain’t flashy, but damn does it hit different. By the time it ends, you’re left wondering why no one plays sad songs like this anymore. Now, I gotta say, listening to this album feels kinda like finding a dusty vinyl in your grandparents' attic. At first glance, it seems outdated, maybe even cheesy. But once you drop the needle, BAM—you realize it’s way ahead of its time. Like, who else thought combining jazz with sci-fi aesthetics would work? Only someone as bold (or nuts) as Cliff Duphiny could pull it off. So yeah, give this thing a spin if you wanna hear what happens when jazz decides to take a detour into outer space. Just don’t blame me if you start picturing flying saucers every time you hear an organ riff afterward. Oh, and hey—if aliens ever invade Earth, play them this album. They might just leave us alone outta respect for our weird taste in music.

About Cliff Duphiny And His Organ With A Beat

Cliff was born on Aug. 7, 1934, died Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005, in Mount Vernon, N.Y., died Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005, age 71 After graduation from Catholic schools, he attended the Julliard School of Music and The Art Student's League, both in New York City. He then served with the Navy aboard the USS Grackle, where he was a member of the Frogmen team. He retired from the service as a Lieutenant JG. At the age of 12, his musical career began when he formed and led his own 12-piece band, the Cliff Duphiney Orchestra, which played throughout Westchester County, N.Y. Following his stint in the Navy, he formed a trio called "My Three Sons," and played nightclubs throughout the country including the Sahara and Thunderbird hotels in Las Vegas. During his childhood, he developed a love for horses which continued throughout his life. During his career as a professional musician, he also rode the rodeo circuit and worked as a stuntman in movies which lead to his show name, "Cowboy at the Keyboard." His performance at the organ keyboard so impressed the Hammond Organ Co. that it provided him with a custom-built organ and gave his performance the title "Sounds Impossible." Cliff went on to make several RCA recordings of his organ music and vocals. After 10 years on the professional circuit, he was ready for a slower pace and came to Waterville where he performed at the Ferris Arms Hotel. There he met his future wife, the former Judy Shorey. They married on Sept. 24, 1967, and hit the road together with his organ and two horses, his stunt horse, Babe, and Judy's wedding gift, an Arabian horse named Jude whom he often rode in local parades. They traveled for a year to finish out Cliff's professional contract before settling in Fairfield. Their daughter Kellie was born Sept. 2, 1968. The family's Fairfield Riverside Ranch was known for its stable of magnificent Arabian horses. Cliff continued his musical career for many years in the state of Maine at such places as the Jed Prouty Tavern in Bucksport, The Carriage Inn in Pittsfield, The Silent Woman in Waterville, the Augusta House, the Country Loft in Troy and the American Legion in Waterville as well as many others. As a child he had taken art lessons as well as music lessons and in the late 1970s, while still working as an entertainer, he again picked up a paint brush and mastered his portrait skills. He soon opened Judy's Art Gallery in Fairfield and began giving art lessons and music lessons. In the past several years, he has done portraits of many famous performers and politicians. Cliff was a member of the American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Western Artists Association, and the Arabian Horse Association.
