Bill
Dilks Presents…
an entertaining evening of
jazz and swing with the Hammond B3
Please join me for
an evening with the Hammond B3, wrapped in a
warm and entertaining hour showcasing the amazing instrument in
all of its glory. The
show is a unique mix of B3 jazz, along with a
touch of Count Basie/Earl Grant stylized swing, while also exposing
to the listener some of the B3's most intimate secrets.
