7 Come 11

Bio:

7 Come 11 is a Hammond organ-driven trio that lays down super-funky grooves reminiscent of MMW and Soulive while delving into inspired jams and throwing out raging homages to classic rock giants like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.

Featuring the blazing guitar prowess of Danny Mayer, the ferocious drumming of Kris Di Noto, Gianni Staiano’s mighty Hammond organ and his mercurial footwork on the bass pedals, this group brings astonishing energy to the stage and leaves audiences wondering how so much sound can be coming from just three musicians.

As a group 7 Come 11 has shared the stage with such contemporary giants as Dragonsmoke (Stanton Moore, Ivan Neville, Eric Lindell, Robert Mercurio), Booker T, Vinyl and Orgone. Individually Gianni, Danny and Kris have shared the stage with such greats as MMW, John Scofield, Soulive, Robert Walter, Adam Deitch and Nigel Hall of Lettuce and the Royal Family Records crew, Ozomatli, and Karl Denson's Tiny Universe.

Press Clips:

Funky Jazz trios like 7 Come 11 simply sound like nothing else. Gianni Staiano, Hammond player for the group (and an accomplished recording artist) coaxes some incredibly expressive, dancy grooves out of that bulky box of keys. Drummer Kris Di Noto (who studied with percussion genius Eugene Novotney, which is enough for me) and guitarist Mark Van Ness... are no slouches either, filling out a band that seems to make for a pretty great dance party.

It was the slow crying of keyboardist Gianni Staiano's Hammond that drew me into the room and the meth-a-nized heartbeat flutter of drummer Kris DiNoto and sushi chef incisiveness of guitarist Mark Van Ness that had me waving off friends in order to focus on their opening set. A fine mix of roadhouse ready and '70s electric jazz wow, they played with engaged strength and broad dynamics, moving from whisper low to explosive outbursts in a smooth way.
