Corey Fonville R&B Organ Trio at The Annex in Norfolk, VA

View read count
The first time I heard Corey Fonville was in March 2013 at the now defunct Havana Nights Jazz Club in Virginia Beach, Va. He was playing with John Toomey on piano, Jimmy Masters on bass and Joe Locke on vibes. Since then Fonville has been a member of the Nicholas Payton Trio, Christian Scott aTunde Adjuah's Quintet and his own band Butcher Brown. Add to his credits his association with Kurt Elling, guitarist Charlie Hunter and fellow Butcher Brown member DJ Harrison on keyboard on the super album Superblue

Besides constantly gigging with Butcher Brown Fonville has been touring with his organ trio of Sam Fribush and alternating guitarist  Hunter and Morgan Burrs (Burrs is the guitarist for Butcher Brown). 

The night the trio appeared at The Annex, a new music venue-bar-kitchen in Norfolk, Burrs was on guitar and special guest saxophonist Jason Arce. Borrowing from their album R&B Organ Trio (Hunter was the guitarist on the EP) the crowd of about 300 were treated to a night of R&B, jazz and funk they won't soon forget.

The following are photos of the event.
