Chris Foreman is a true giant of the B-3 organ, and his powerful group delivers a performance that is absolutely electrifying. Blind at birth, Foreman started playing piano at age five, and as teenager he began to pursue playing jazz on the organ. He has arrived at a most exciting blend of blues-gospel and jazz and has developed a stunning command and range on the instrument. This concert will celebrate his 43-year friendship and musical collaboration with Greg Rockingham, his drummer, and will also feature saxophonist Greg Jung. This concert will be recorded live for Chicago Jazz Live on WDCB.
