Three Blind Mice is Victor North- saxophones, Lucas Brown- organ, and Wayne Smith Jr.- drums.
Formed in the early 2000's by the intuition of Victor North, Three Blind Mice—saxophonist Victor North, organist Lucas Brown and drummer Wayne Smith, Jr.--the trio's chemistry was immediate and thus began what would become a modern organ trio steeped in the traditions of Jazz.
Originally hailing from Alaska, the now long-time transplant Victor teamed up with Philadelphians Brown and Smith, both of whom persevere to carry on the great tradition of rhythm section players from their hometown. Together the three have forged their own sound and feature an expansive repertoire that is constantly growing with new original compositions. And additionally, on any given night, you may hear them paying homage to their many influences, playing the music of greats like John Coltrane, Hank Mobley, Larry Young or Wes Montgomery, as well as contemporary artists such as Peter Bernstein....
