Pat Bianchi Organ Trio

Fri, Feb 20

Pat Bianchi — Hammond organ Troy Roberts — tenor saxophone Colin Stranahan — drums Grammy-nominated organist Pat Bianchi has established himself as one of the premier organists on the international scene today. Bianchi is the winner of Downbeat Magazine’s 2016 rising star poll, Hot House 2019 poll, and nominee of the 2024 Jazz Journalists Association as Keyboardist of the year. Known for fearlessly taking the jazz organ into new and exciting directions, Pat’s playing blends tradition with forward-thinking creativity, drawing inspiration from legends like Dr. Lonnie Smith and Joey DeFrancesco. With a career that includes touring with Steely Dan, performing alongside icons like Pat Martino and Lou Donaldson, and leading his own acclaimed trio, Pat’s artistry is unmatched! His group's repertoire, intensity, interaction, and, especially, their combined sense of musical adventure set them apart from many of the organ trios on the scene today. Joining Bianchi is three-time GRAMMY-nominated saxophonist Troy Roberts, who is quickly becoming one of the most widely recorded touring artists of his time. As a go-to first-call saxophonist, his name adorns several essential recordings, ranging from the legendary Joey DeFrancesco, the iconic Van Morrison, the quintessential Jeff "Tain" Watts, the critically acclaimed Kurt Elling, and Veronica Swift, as well as numerous other jazz veterans and newcomers considered tastemakers of their generation. Drummer Colin Stranahan was one of the winners of the 2012 Thelonious Monk Drum Competition. Now living in Brooklyn, New York, Colin is among the most sought-after drummers in the world, having worked with such artists as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jonathan Kreisberg, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Fred Hersch, Terence Blanchard, Dave Kikoski, Kevin Hays, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and many others.
