Steve Czarnecki's SOUL/JAZZ QUINTET is based on the premise that any music  not prominently featuring the sound of the Hammond B3, is probably not worth hearing. In view of this fact, we have assembled some great musicians into a wonderful five piece group playing the classic soul/jazz repertoire of artists like Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff and Jimmy McGriff. We also toss in many original tunes and updated versions of classic grooves.Our line up consists of:

Nate Pruitt  vocals

Steve Czarnecki  organ

Mike Renwick guitar

Bob Johnson   sax

Dan Sabanovich  drums

Steve at the Organ

By now you're probably asking yourself: just where can I hear these guys play? Well, check this out:

I also give piano and guitar as well as organ lessons at my studio in Santa Cruz, CA. I teach a variety of styles, as well as harmony and music theory. If you're interested, please click here for Music Lessons.

Our latest CD, "Soul Rendezvous", is available now! Once again we feature the dynamic Nate Pruitt on vocals, and in addition, we have a slew of new, original Soul/Jazz compositions! Needless to say, it sounds great!

Pete Fallico (Doodlin' Lounge) says: 
Steve's new CD (Soul Rendezvous) is huge! I was proud to debut several of the tunes on my radio show the other night. The groove is undeniable and Steve swings all the way through this session. Grab this CD while you can!

A Bit of Soul/Jazz Trivia: Our recording of "Fly Me to the Moon" is available in Pottery Barn stores on the CD Dinner at Eight-Second Course (EMI-Capitol Special Markets). We're in the fine company of Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Darin and others!

Oh, and P.S. -- I have two jazz piano trio CDs ...

They sound wonderful and I'm sure they'll make great gifts for anyone who enjoys jazz.

Special thanks to Ernst Kimler for the webpage chops and Hammond/Leslie surgery.
