Live at the Bop Stop - Theron Brown Trio

This performance used with permission from Theron Brown.

If you’re a frequent lister to this program we mention often that Theron Brown is the hardest working performer in show business. From his work as Artistic Director with the I Promise School to his role overseeing the annual Rubber City Jazz and Blues Festival, Theron is intimately involved with making Northeast Ohio a magnet for musical talent. For this performance, Theron brings the Fender Rhodes Mk II to life with his trio.

While the Hammond B3 gets the accolades for being the center of Soul Jazz, The Fender Rhodes might not get the credit it deserves for the warmth, authenticity and versatility it delivered to audiences. At least, the ones built before 1983. If you like what you hear today and are looking for more jazz records focused around the Fender Rhodes, All About Jazz has an excellent article on this topic, written by Chris May.

For now, though, featuring Zaire Darden on Drums, Jordan McBride on Bass and Theron Brown on Piano and Fender Rhodes and from a sold out April 26th, 2024 performance, it’s the Theron Brown Trio – Live at the Bop Stop.

There is No Greater Love - Jones
