Mel Brown B3 Organ Group performs at the Jack London Review

With Guest Vocalists Sean Holmes and Arietta Ward

“Ifthis band appeared in New York City, they’d be a sensation!” That was guitar great – andone-time Mel Brown bandmate George Benson’s reaction after hearing the MelBrown B-3 Organ Group open for him.

In fact,this true all-star band – each member is widely viewed as tops in the Northweston his instrument–has been a sensation for a long while now. With a collectiveresume that reads like a “Who’s Who” of jazz, blues, and soul (all four membersare Oregon Music Hall of Fame inductees), this group has the talent andconfidence to be completely spontaneous–from their blistering solos to theirimprovised arrangements and segues. No wonder they’ve thrilled audienceswherever they’ve played.
