“The Funkalleros: Organ trios were a popular (and still are!) type of jazz ensemble for club and bar settings in the 1950s and 1960s, performing a blues-based style of jazz that incorporated elements of R&B, blues, and gospel — “soul jazz”. The format, characterized by improvised solos and an exploration of different musical moods, traditionally features organ (also handling the bass chores), drums, and guitar or sax. This quartet includes all four — and they are Detroit’s first-call musicians: Dale Grisa, organ; Jesse Kramer, drums; Brett Lucas, guitar; and Bobby Streng, saxophone. All four of these musicians have played our Kittens & Crooners serious with various headliners, and this ‘all-star’ quartet will be a rare treat for live music fans.”
