Legendary Niacin band member and Hammond B3 player John Novello joins forces with renown bassist Edwin Livingston – Elvin Jones, Ellis, Delfeayo, & Jason Marsalis, The Headhunters, Los Hombres Calientes (Grammy nominated Latin Jazz album 2001), Hubert Laws, John Beasley, Bill Cunliffe, Peter Erskine and Drummer, composer and producer, Tony Austin WHO has performed, recorded and collaborated with..

... a wealth of talented artists including Charles Lloyd, Billy Childs, Jon Brion, Salvador Santana, Solomon Burke, John Avila (Oingo Boingo), and Meyer Hawthorne.

It would be an injustice to John Novello to try and compress a biography of his creative travels into just one page. Fans in fusion circles will be aware of his huge body of work with Niacin. Made up of Novello, bassist Billy Sheehan and drummer Dennis Chambers, Niacin is a trio that has remained a defining figure in progressive jazz rock. Originally on Chick Corea’s Stretch label in the 90s, Niacin’s experiential influence on modern musicianship can be compared to the shock wave created by Herbie Hancock in the 70s with sonic surrealism. Niacin’s latest CD “KRUSH” will be released April 2 2013 – it’s a scorcher! Novello also as a Bandleader has two other projects – The John Novello Band and The B3Soul Project!...

A consummate and prolific artist always experimenting with new musical ideas, Novello has now reached over into a new market with his latest musical project “The John Novello Acoustic Piano Trio” – Novello Unplugged – for yet another chapter in the life of this extraordinary musician. Novello says “I’ve always admired acoustic music and so this project is very refreshing after all of the high energy jazz fusion I’ve been doing all of these years – I love the freedom and improvisational interplay!”
