Hammond organist, Joe Doria brings together some of the areas finest with "McTuff"!
What began as an ode to some of the organ greats in soul jazz, such as delivering their own take on the works of Jimmy Smith and Captain Jack McDuff, soon turned into something more. A movement towards being a band that can appeal to almost any audience, room, and vibe. Melody, dynamics, and groove...from the soft and surreal to deep funk. From swinging soul...all the way to the thumping metal grind...no musical stone gets unturned. McTUFF is about letting it all go and having fun, a moment of time to remember the groove laid down by the soul masters as well as introduce original works of their own.
With the caliber of musicianship, honesty, and improvisational experience... combined with a love of all styles and genres of music, MCTUFF combines the ingredients to show live audiences that no show is the same.
Joe Doria captains the Hammond Organ, the world-renowned "Skerik" on tenor sax, the impeccable Andy Coe on guitar, and the incredible Dvonne Lewis on drums.
