The Pat Bianchi Trio - Hammond B-3 Week

The Pat Bianchi Trio performs as part of Hammond B-3 Week at Blues Alley, bringing an evening of inventive jazz organ music. Organist Pat Bianchi, known for fearlessly pushing the Hammond B-3 in new and exciting directions, blends tradition with forward-thinking creativity. Drawing inspiration from legends like Dr. Lonnie Smith and Joey DeFrancesco, Bianchi has opened for Steely Dan on multiple tours, performed alongside icons such as Pat Martino and Lou Donaldson, and led acclaimed trios. For this performance, he is joined by top-call New York City drummer Colin Stranahan and legendary guitarist Paul Bollenback. Together they present original compositions, inventive arrangements, and selections from Bianchi’s newest release, *Confluence*.
