Organ Freeman is the funk of the future. The band mixes a jazzy disposition with a healthy dose of funk, and they sound like a combination of Soulive and The New Mastersounds, with a dash of Vulfpeck thrown in for good measure. Their passion for the music is clear each time they pick up their instruments, with every show a unique musical adventure.
Last year, Organ Freeman performed a memorable set at The Hall at MP as part of Brooklyn Comes Alive. This show doubled as the band’s first-ever performance in the New York area, and they certainly impressed, turning in an awesome showcase of their special brand of progressive jazz. The band released a pro-shot video of their sludgy funk tune “Verve” from this set, and it’s the perfect representation of everything that makes Organ Freeman great. It exhibits their tight playing and their exciting improvisation, all delivered with ease, as the musicians clearly feel comfortable together on stage.
Check out the video of Organ Freeman playing “Verve” at the 2016 Brooklyn Comes Alive below.
