Overview

Get ready for a classic B3 organ throwdown featuring three powerhouse bands and one all-star jam. The night kicks off with Jorgan Trio, led by Jordan Gravel on organ, bringing deep grooves and soulful swing rooted in the classic jazz organ tradition. Next up is Firecracker, an explosive group featuring Ken Clark on organ and Jared Sims on baritone sax, fresh off being named 2025 Boston Music Awards Jazz Artist of the Year. Expect bold, funky, modern organ jazz with serious fire and attitude. Closing out the sets are The B3 Kings, with Rusty Scott on organ and Boston rock guitar legend Johnny Trama on guitar, blending raw energy, bluesy grit, and vintage Hammond heat. After the individual short sets, all bets are off as every musician hits the stage together for a massive super jam. From traditional jazz organ to deep-funk and soul-soaked grooves, the night celebrates the unmistakable sound of the Hammond B3: loud, greasy, and gloriously alive.
