Joe Krown Trio, Pittsburgh, PA

4/1/12
Joe Krown is a New Orleans fixture specializing in the stride style piano technique along with more recent adventures on the B3 organ. Joining Krown on this tour is Walter "Wolfman" Washington and Russell Batiste, Jr. recreating a trio that has been playing the Maple Leaf  Bar on Frenchman Street for the last few years.
This video clip from their show at the Thunderbird Cafe gives you an example of some excellent B3 organ playing in the Richard "Groove" Holmes tradition.





Before I checked out Joe Krown I stopped by the James Street Gastropub and Speakeasy and saw some early evening jazz from The Curtis Johnson Quartet. Surprisingly, the Speakeasy was packed.  Perhaps Pittsburgh will be able to keep its jazz tradition alive after all.
