“One of the premier straight-ahead drummers of his generation.” —Glide Magazine

Acclaimed drummer Joe Farnsworth convenes an extraordinary trio featuring pianist Brad Mehldau and bassist Larry Grenadier. Known for his deep swing, clarity of time, and ability to elevate every ensemble he joins, Farnsworth stands among the foremost drummers of his generation and has emerged as a compelling bandleader in his own right.

After more than three decades propelling the bands of Benny Golson, Pharaoh Sanders, George Coleman, Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, and Harold Mabern, Farnsworth has built a career that bridges tradition and forward momentum. As a leader, he has continued to shape distinctive ensembles across generations of players, including his recent recording The Big Room, which features artists such as Joel Ross, Sarah Hanahan, and Emmet Cohen.

The New Yorker describes Farnsworth as the “most swinging of percussionists” who “can spark any band with his perfect time and unwavering attention to detail.” Of his trio partners, The New Yorker has also called Brad Mehldau “arguably the greatest working jazz pianist,” while The New York Times praises Larry Grenadier’s sound as “direct and powerful as it is elegant.”

Larry Goldings – Hammond B-3 organ

Peter Bernstein – guitar

Bill Stewart – drums

“An authentic organ trio with all the size and scope of Mount Everest, and twice the cool” — JazzTimes

Larry Goldings, Peter Bernstein, and Bill Stewart return to Smoke to celebrate the release of their new album Rhombus (Smoke Sessions Records, August 7). One of the most acclaimed organ trios in modern music, the group has been performing and recording together for more than 35 years, developing a deeply intuitive musical language defined by groove, interplay, and invention.

Formed in New York in the late 1980s, the trio has become a benchmark for the modern organ trio tradition, while each member has established himself as a leading voice on his instrument. Rhombus finds them exploring music by Keith Jarrett, Randy Weston, Abdullah Ibrahim, Wayne Shorter, Thelonious Monk, and Irving Berlin, alongside originals by Goldings and Bernstein—reframing familiar material through their unmistakable collective sound.

DownBeat calls them “standard-bearers for the B-3 tradition,” while JazzTimes praises their “interactive approach, virtuoso execution, and emphasis on melody and groove.”
