"I think that to be a jazz musician now means drawing on a wider variety of things than 30 or 40 years ago. Not to play a little bit of this or a little bit of that, but to blend everything together into something that has integrity and sounds good. Not to sound like a pastiche or shifting styles; but like someone with a lot of range and understanding." Trumpeter and Grammy© Award Winner Brian Lynch brings to his music an unparalleled depth and breadth of experience.

  • The Bob Devos Organ Quartet
    The Bob DeVos Organ Quartet Bob DeVos Guitar Ralph Bowen Tenor Saxophone Dan Kostelnik Hammond B-3 Organ Steve Johns Drums “I play, compose and arrange to explore a new potential of the Hammond B3 organ genre without losing the tradition, the spirit and—at—heart—the blues feeling of the great organ groups I came up through the ranks with.” – Bob DeVos The Bob DeVos Organ Group has been performing to enthusiastic, full houses and great acclaim since 2005. It unites Bob with two terrific musicians: Hammond B3 organist Dan Kostelnik and drummer Steve Johns frequently joined by tenor great Ralph Bowen. With long, blues-drenched melodic lines and a distinctive, horn-like sound, guitarist-composer Bob DeVos is hailed as “a master with a sound to die for: rich, full, deep, positive, round and warm.“ Bob cut his teeth in jazz as the replacement for Pat Martino in the Trudy Pitts & Mr. C. Trio, then went on to perform and record extensively with other Hammond B-3 Organ group legends: Charles Earland, Jimmy McGriff-Hank Crawford, Richard “Groove” Holmes-Sonny Stitt, Jack McDuff and modern organists Joey DeFrancesco, Dr. Lonnie Smith, and Mike LeDonne, as well as many, many jazz greats past and current outside the organ jazz genre. Dan Kostelnik brings a mastery over the traditional organ idiom combined with the ability to handle modern, harmonically complex structures. An in-demand player, Dan is a Down Beat Rising Star. Like Bob, Steve Johns is a complete musician—dynamic and musical with extensive experience playing and recording in a wide range of styles.
