Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio

Born in Seattle in 2015, the Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio belongs to the soul-jazz tradition in an organ-guitar-drums format, with an instrumental sound nourished by funk, blues and rhythm and blues from the 1950s to the 1970s. Gathered around the organist Delvon Lamarr, the group first made a name for itself on Seattle’s local scene before quickly expanding its activity to American and European circuits, as well as several jazz festivals. Its music rests on tight grooves, warm organ lines and a very rhythmic guitar, in an aesthetic that evokes both soul combos and club jazz. Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio released a first version of Close But No Cigar in 2016, followed by a reissue on Colemine Records in 2018, and the same year a Live at KEXP! release. In 2021 came I Told You So, then Cold As Weiss in 2022, the year also seeing the release of Live In Loveland! Throughout its career, Delvon Lamarr Organ Trio has undergone several lineup changes, notably with guitarist Jimmy James for a large part of the early period, while Delvon Lamarr remains the musical and stylistic center.
