This smokin’ Hammond B3 organ trio has been playing together for the
past ten years but also has a storied background in other various
musical forms. Keyboardist Mark Gelfand and guitarist David Rampley
combined their musical creativity throughout the 80’s in the popular
jazz fusion band ‘Prime Suspect’. After a successful eight year run
playing clubs, each went on to play with other popular local artists
for the next twelve years. It was only later in Mr. Gelfand’s musical
career that he crossed paths with versatile, jazz/funk drummer Mark
Vrudny. Sharing similar interests in the resurgence of the Hammond B3
sound of the 50’s and 60’s fueled by the great Joey Defrancesco and
Larry Goldings, they decided to focus on their own mix of original and
cover compositions. The trio’s ideas successfully materialized after
Mr. Rampley joined the band and they never looked back!
