Review:

This is the one hundred and eighty eight in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Pat Bianchi has gradually become one of the top jazz organists on the scene.

He began on the organ when he was seven, studied classical piano, worked as a jazz pianist from the age of 11, studied at the Eastman School of Music and Berklee, and eventually switched back to organ.

After becoming an important part of the Denver jazz scene, Bianchi moved to New York where he was a longtime member of the Lou Donaldson quartet, became an important member of the Pat Martino Trio, worked with Ralph Peterson’s Unity Project and Tim Warfield, and released six CDs as a leader.

On his LiveStream from July 14, 2020, Pat Bianchi is joined by guitarist Paul Bollenbeck and drummer Byron Landham for extended playing on our numbers including “Secret Love.”

While being part of the classic organ trio tradition, the musicians stretch the music with their advanced improvising, showing how the organ group can sound in current times.
