Brian Ho
Brian solos and comps with his right hand while his left hand and feet play organ bass in the same tradition as the organ pioneers. In this concert, his group will take you on a journey through several of Jimmy Smith's famous compositions as well several of his own originals and arrangements of some standards that will pay homage to the organist. As always, he will continue to expand on the legendary sound of jazz with elements of funk, blues, hip-hop, and soul.
