Carey Frank – Hammond B3 Organ Trio

Part of the Sierra Madre Playhouse Jazz Series, curated by Greg Porée

Few instruments summon the soul of jazz quite like the Hammond B3 organ—and few players capture its warmth and groove like Carey Frank. A sought-after keyboardist, composer, and arranger, Frank has performed with a wide range of artists including Tedeschi Trucks Band, Michael Bublé, and Bruce Forman. His playing combines the deep pocket of classic organ jazz with the harmonic sophistication and subtle modern touch of today’s scene.

In this intimate trio setting, Frank leads a powerhouse lineup through a set that balances swing, blues, and soul with contemporary flair. Expect rhythmic drive from the Leslie speaker’s swirling tone, fiery guitar interplay, and dynamic drum conversations that make every tune feel both spontaneous and deeply rooted.

As part of the Jazz Series curated by guitarist and composer Greg Porée, this performance highlights the spirit of Los Angeles jazz at its most immediate—virtuosic musicianship, deep groove, and an atmosphere that feels like a late-night club brought right into the heart of Sierra Madre.

It’s a celebration of sound, rhythm, and connection—a perfect evening for jazz lovers and anyone who appreciates music that swings, sings, and stirs the soul.
