Brian Charette (USA)

piano, organ

After one year break, Grammy nominated Hammond organist and pianist, Brian Charette is returing to join our staff!

Has has established himself as a leading voice in modern jazz organ, working with many noteable artists such as Joni Mitchell, Chaka Khan, Lou Donaldson, and countless others. Since moving to New York in 1995 he has become an integral part of the New York City jazz scene.

Brian is a new "Steeple Chase" artist and has just released his first recording for them, "Upside" which has met with critical acclaim. As a sideman, he records with many popular jazz artists; most recently with Tony Desare on Telarc records. Mr Charette is also featured prominently on two new Mel Bay instructional DVDs by Rodney Jones and Sheryl Bailey.

Brian also works regularly with Jimmy and Jerry Vivino ("Tonight Show" Band) and was a sub in the Max Weinberg 7 while the show was still in New York. Through this relationship, Brian was able to make music with many of his heros including Michael McDonald, Cindy Lauper and many great new artists like Duncan Sheik, Rufus Wainwright, and Michael Buble.

Bill Milkowski of Jazz Times has called Brian "one of the best of the new breed of B3 Players".
Keyboard Magazine's Carl Lumma:"...if you care a whit about the future of music you owe his album a listen...".
Edward Blanco ("Ejazzreview") calls Charette's playing "Dazzling" and "Virtuosic".
