LIVE AT STUDIO5! The Soul Message Band
March 7 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$25 – $35
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 began formal training at seven. As a teenager he was attracted to the organ sounds of Jack McDuff, Groove Holmes, Jimmy Smith and Jimmy McGriff. This attraction led him to pursue playing jazz on the organ, which he undertook through intensive study of recordings. He has arrived at a most exciting blend of blues-gospel and jazz and has developed a stunning command and range on the instrument. In this show, Foreman will partner with drummer Greg Rockingham and guitarist Lee Rothenberg. This concert will be recorded live for Chicago Jazz Live on WDCB. FREE Parking. Located in the Evanston Plaza on the SW corner of Dempster & Dodge. Wheelchair accessible. Tickets: $25 for theater seating, $35 for cabaret seating
