Jazz Nights: Organik Vibe Trio

Grammy nominated organist, winner of Downbeat Magazine’s 2016 rising star poll and Hot House magazine’s 2019 poll, Pat Bianchi has established himself as one of the premier organists on the international scene today. His command of the instrument, harmonic prowess, rhythmic intensity and versatility are rivaled by few. Bianchi has had the honor of being a long time member of jazz guitar icon, Pat Martino’s trio and also performed with NEA Jazz Master and saxophone legend, Lou Donaldson’s quartet for a number of years as well.

University of Miami graduate Marko Marcinko joined Maynard Ferguson in 1996, touring the US, Europe, South America, Canada, and Asia while recording for Concord Records. For over 15 years, Marko performed as a member of the NEA Jazz Master Dave Liebman Group and The Dave Liebman Big Band, with many awards and Grammy nominations. Marko is also a master clinician/educator and the director of Jazz Studies at Penn State University. He is a Yamaha, Zildjian, Vic Firth, and Aquarian Drum Heads endorser.

Dave Riekenberg came to New York City in 1987 after two and a half years in the North Texas State University 1:00 Lab Band, and a three and a half year stint with Woody Herman and the Thundering Herd. While traveling with the Herd, Dave had the opportunity to perform as a featured soloist alongside Dizzy Gillespie, Al Cohn, Nancy Wilson, Joe Williams, and Anita O'Day. Dave joined Blood, Sweat, and Tears upon arriving in New York and toured with the group for eight years. Dave performed with Maria Schneider, Bill Warfield, the Vanguard Orchestra, Steve Gadd, Randy Brecker, Jimmy Cobb, and numerous others.
