Joe Bagg Organ Trio

Join us Saturday, November 14, as we launch a brand-new live music series at Suite B with a powerhouse organ trio featuring Joe Bagg (Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra), Dan Faehnle (Pink Martini, Diana Krall), and Brent Follis (Pink Martini, Ari Shapiro) on drums.

Deep grooves, greasy Hammond organ, swinging guitar, and plenty of soul. Three seasoned musicians, one intimate room, and the kind of jazz best experienced up close.

Saturday, November 14 | 7–9 PM

Suite B | 805 N Killingsworth St.

$12 at the door

Come early, grab a drink, and settle in. We’re bringing the jazz club back to the neighborhood.

Joe Bagg (Organ)

“A masterful organist”- L. A. Times

“A highly refined player with a light touch who listens” – downbeat

“An inventive pianist” – San Francisco Chronicle

“Whether playing behind the melody or comping during solos, Bagg hits just the right notes at just the right volume with just the right feel every single time. It’s not so much that he dominates the proceedings, rather it’s obvious that these compositions and their subsequent solos would not have the spark and drive without him. He doesn’t just prod the horn players on to some great work – he builds with them, laying out the colors and alternate chord voicings with such a refined sense of taste it’s a wonder he isn’t more of a household name” – Jazz Review

“Organist Joe Bagg has a subtle but very on-target touch” – All About Jazz

“In particular, organist Joe Bagg continually steals the show” – Allmusic https://www.mi.edu/faculty/joe-bagg/and https://www.joebagg.com/about

Dan Faehnle (Guitar)

''Faehnle is simply one of the
best guitarists working today,
and is admired by a wide range
of veteran players.'' - Jazz Times
