Bernstein/Goldings/Stewart Organ Trio
September 18, 2021 @ 8:00 pm
The Goldings/Bernstein/Steward Organ Trio have been called “one of current jazz’s finest small groups” by JazzTimes magazine and “the longest-lived and most virtuosic organ trio in existence” by SFJazz. Together now for thirty years, they have recorded over a dozen albums and performed hundreds of concerts in festivals in celebrated venues around the world. Their grooving repertoire celebrates the funky sounds of the organ trio; influences include Larry Young, Jimmy Smith and Jack McDuff. But they are unique – this trio stands out due to their brilliant musicianship, their ability to play difficult music and have it sound easy, and their commitment to the groove no matter what the tempo or style. One of the advantages of playing together for over three decades is the organic assimilation of a collective, community-created vocabulary that manifests in an ESP-like understanding of where the music itself wants to go. While experiencing this band live, listeners can watch as the performance carries the musicians in its own wake. Because the organist and drummer worked with Maceo Parker for a year, they really know how to lay it down and get funky. Come experience a legendary trio that bursts with talent, creativity and beauty.
This year each concert will have both a limited in-person audience as well as a livestream component. You may purchase in-person tickets above and/or donate to the livestream below. Please give generously and support live music.
