NYC organist, Brian Charette, is a Downbeat Critic's Poll regular also living on Venice Beach. His unusual take on the Hammond organ trio prompted Downbeat to describe him as "the last word on what it truly means to play jazz organ". Andy Sanesi is a drummer to the stars and Charette's dear friend and beach neighbor. His subtle beat slicing is delivered with a sly smile, perfect technique, and deathlock on the groove. Rounding out the trio is blazing guitarist, Andy Waddell. Andy is an LA institution, lending his considerable gifts to countless artists such as Patti Austin, Gary Novak, and Kim Richmond. His gorgeous soundscapes and searing solos soar over the top of Charette's Harlem breakbeat funk.
