CC Booker III features tenor titan Will Scruggs and B3 devotee Nate Shaw.
Hailing from Atlanta, GA and Brooklyn, NY, Scruggs and Shaw bring you a
soul-jazz sound dedicated to three greats; Ray Charles, King Curtis, and
Booker T and the MGs as the big swinging sound of the tenor saxophone meets the super funk of the Hammond B3 organ. The band features New York native, Nate Shaw, on keys and Atlanta native, Will Scruggs, on horns. Between the two of them, they have performed worldwide to sell out audiences at such venues as the Blue Note and the Apollo Theatre. The Minneapolis Star Tribune described Nate Shaw’s sound as “rhythmically adventurous yet gracefully understated…as thoughtful as it is potent,” and The Chicago Reader wrote that he “stood out for his detailed solos and expansive keyboard style.” At only 26 years of age saxophonist, vocalist, and bandleader Will Scruggs is one of the most exciting young artists on the jazz scene today, having recorded and toured with the legendary Natalie Cole in 2006. With a deep arsenal of original music and a strong background in jazz, funk and reggae, Scruggs wins over audiences wherever he goes. CC BOOKER promises to be one of the most exciting new groups of the last ten years. If you like it swinging and soulful, this is the show for you!
