Live Music - Organ Trail Trio
The Organ Trail Trio honors the pioneers of jazz organ legends, while blazing new trails through modern jazz and soul. The OTT is led by organist Walter Hannah, along with guitarist Deider Barrick and drummer Riley Williams.
The trio draws inspiration from a wide musical landscape—modern jazz innovators, classic soul architects, and contemporary hip-hop producers all inform their approach. Like rationing supplies for a cross-country trek, they balance reverence for the organ trio lineage with fresh ideas from across genres, never over-packing their arrangements but always prepared for the unexpected turns of live performance.
Each show is its own expedition: rooted in jazz history but heading toward new destinations. A smoking blues shuffle might give way to a hip-hop-inflected groove or soul-drenched ballad. The Organ Trail Trio promises music that’s both familiar and full of discovery.
