Eric Krasno’s new-ish project, E3 Organ Trio include Eric, Eric Finland on organ & keyboards and Eric Kalb on drums. Last weekend, the trio branched out from the Eric first name requirement and welcomed guitar-slinger John Scofield to their ranks.

Where Krasno’s other projects (Soulive and Lettuce) are high-energy and bring the funk, E3 delivers a sultry, classic blues band vibe.

E3 and Scofield treated NYC’s Blue Note to a night of classic covers including tunes by Allman Brothers Band, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder and Sam Cooke among others. E3 + Scofield jammed on a couple of John’s original pieces including “Boozer” and “Hottentot.”
