Jan Kořínek /CZ/

The 39 year old Hammond organ/guitar/bass player and composer gives his heart, mind and soul to his music. He actually started his musical career as a bass player, something which has stayed with him on the keyboard, giving funky, left-hand chops that even bass players marvel at. His music closely follows the tradition of the great Hammond organ combos (such as Jimmy McGriff, Jimmy Smith, Richard Groove Holmes etc), walking a thin line between blues and jazz. He has been touring with various international artists such as Lorenzo Thompson, Eb Davis, Sharon Lewis, John Lee Sanders, to name just a few. Jan Korinek was also a guest of several groups, for instance The Kinsey Report, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, and he has appeared on numerous recordings as well.

Since 1995 he has been discovering genres that are closely connected with the blues and has been putting them into his shows. In 2014 he put all of this energy into his band SOULTET where he started performing his own compositions on the edge of blues/jazz/soul and funky music. Besides touring, Jan has been running his own recording studio called REEL BLUES STUDIO and produced and released numerous records.
