Joe Doria Piano Trio at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Long before Joe Doria became a master of the Hammond B-3 organ, he was a young jazz pianist playing with, among others, the Marriott Brothers. Since that time he has became a veritable Seattle music institution. As a B-3 player and aficionado of electric keyboards in general, Doria has been in the unique position of being in the crosshairs of several music scenes in the city--including the jazz and jam communities.

Long before Joe Doria became a master of the Hammond B-3 organ, he was a young jazz pianist playing with, among others, the Marriott Brothers. Since that time he has became a veritable Seattle music institution. As a B-3 player and aficionado of electric keyboards in general, Doria has been in the unique position of being in the crosshairs of several music scenes in the city--including the jazz and jam communities. In a jazz context, his playing is very comparable to organ greats like Jimmy Smith and Dr. Lonnie Smith. There is soul, funk and a healthy portion of the blues in his sound. The interest here is how he takes those qualities and applies them to the jazz piano trio. He is joined by bassist Jeff Johnson, a historic voice in piano trios, having performed as an integral member of the trios of piano greats Hal Galper, Jessica Williams and Chano Dominguez. Drummer Brad Gibson may be Doria's most frequent musical partner over the years at his residency at the storied Seamonster Lounge. Doria's musical intelligence and soulful insights should make this a memorable night. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
