The Jeremy Baum Trio - Jeremy Baum plays the Hammond Organ and leads his own trio which is rooted in the blues and funky soul-jazz sounds of the late 1960s (think Booker T. and the MGs, Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff!) His style is also informed by current keepers of the groove from the jam-band scene. Jeremy has been playing festivals and jazz clubs in the New England region since his first release, Lost River Jams, in 2002. He has released two full length albums and four singles so far, and all are available to listen to on your favorite streaming platforms!
