Organ Night with Jake Sherman Trio

An organ-led jazz evening by the Jake Sherman Trio at Fox & Firkin in Lewisham, combining 1960s and 1970s Hammond organ music with a more contemporary feel.

The Jake Sherman Trio is a jazz group built around the Hammond organ. Its music draws on the Hammond organ playing of the 1960s and 1970s, blended with a sound that feels distinctly present-day.

On stage the trio plays a Hammond B3 organ, a Leslie speaker, a guitar amplifier and drums. No microphones are placed on the instruments, so the sound reaches the audience directly from the Leslie speaker, guitar amplifier and drums. The performance takes place in the round, with the musicians placed in the centre of the room rather than at the front of a stage.

Fox & Firkin is a concert and performance venue at 316a, 316 Lewisham High Street, London SE13 6JZ. The evening will appeal to listeners drawn to organ-based jazz and to the sound of the Hammond organ in its classic 1960s and 1970s style.
