Known for fearlessly taking the jazz organ into new and exciting directions, Pat’s playing blends tradition with forward-thinking creativity, drawing inspiration from legends like Dr. Lonnie Smith and Joey DeFrancesco. With a career that includes touring with Steely Dan, performing alongside icons like Pat Martino and Lou Donaldson, and leading his own acclaimed trio, Pat’s artistry is unmatched!

Joining Bianchi is three-time GRAMMY nominated saxophonist, Troy Roberts who is quickly becoming one of the most widely recorded touring artists of his time. As a go-to first call saxophonist, his name adorns several essential recordings ranging from the legendary Joey DeFrancesco, to Van Morrison, Jeff “Tain” Watts, Kurt Elling and Veronica Swift as well as numerous others. Drummer Colin Stranahan was one of the winners of the 2012 Thelonious Monk Drum Competition. Colin is among the most sought-after drummers in the world having worked with such artist as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jonathan Kreisberg, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Fred Hersch, Terence Blanchard, Dave Kikoski, Kevin Hays, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and many others.
