If this band appeared in New York City, theyd be a sensation! That was guitar great--and one-time Mel Brown bandmate--George Bensons reaction after hearing the Mel Brown B-3 Organ Group open for him back in September, 2003 at Oregons prestigious Britt Festival. In fact, this true all-star band--each member is widely viewed as tops in the Northwest on his instrument--has been a sensation for a long while now.
