Tom O'Grady

About the show

The Tom O’Grady Trio brings their unique take on popular 60s & 70s Motown / pop classics to the 606. The
programme covers classic songs from the Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Glen Campbell and many more, reworked in the style of the grooviest piano trios (the Ramsey Lewis trio, Gene Harris & the Three Sounds, Ahmad Jamal, Monty Alexander etc). As well as leading the critically acclaimed jazz funk outfit Resolution 88, Tom is an alumnus of
jazz funk legends Incognito (having performed with them on their 2016 world tour) and has worked with many of his musical heroes, from Don Blackman to the Blackbyrds, Candi Staton and James Mason. For this début performance at the 606, Tom & the Trio will be joined by guitarist Al Cherry and harmonica player & percussionist Pat Levett (The Coalminers). Built on the foundation of world-class songs and an appealing retro vibe this is a terrific gig!
