Chris Foreman
Chris, blind at birth, started playing piano at age five and took lessons at seven.
Soon, he was attracted to the organ sounds of Jack McDuff, Groove Holmes, JimmySmith,
and Jimmy McGriff. Chris felt, that playing jazz on the organ was exactly what he was
looking for. He studied intensively the recordings of his favorite players.
Chris worked together with Hank Crawford, Albert Collins, Bernard Purdie and The Mighty Blue Kings. Nowadays, he is well known in the Chicago area, where he is a member of the Deep Blue Organ Trio. |
