Well versed in the old school organ trio tradition of Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Groove Holmes and Don Padderson, the Dave Fleschner trio has a modern approach to this canon, drawing inspiration from artists as varied as Herbie Hancock and Ornette Coleman. You’ll find funk, soul, blues and world music influences in their special blend of groove-based improvisation.
