Beals Koehler and Smith

Andrew Beals, Kyle Koehler and Neal Smith. Three veteran performers come together to explore the cannon of Jazz, inspired by the great B3 organ groups. Expect the unexpected; their versions of seldom heard standards from the great American songbook, soul inspired funk, R&B classics, off the beaten path jazz standards as well as some originals.

Andrew Beals joined legendary jazz organist, “Brother” Jack McDuff and the “Heatin’ System” in 1986. Beals became the latest in a long line of Jazz Saxophone greats, including Sonny Stitt, Gene Ammons, Red Holloway, Joe Henderson, Joe Lovano, Harold Vick, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk, to work with Jack McDuff. Andrew Beals’ fourteen-year tenure in Jack McDuff’s band was marked by a busy performance schedule, which included lengthy tours of North America and Europe. Andrew Beals is a featured soloist and arranger on Jack McDuff’s compact discs for Concord and Summit records.
