The instrument was a jazz scene staple in the 1950s and 60s, particularly in black neighborhoods where economical three-piece organ combos held forth in bars that kept juke boxes stocked with 45s by Jimmy Smith, Brother Jack McDuff, Jimmy McGriff and Dr. Lonnie Smith (the last old school cat still on the scene). But by the end of the 70s the B3 had fallen so far out of favor that it was no longer being manufactured.<\/p>\n<p>DeFrancesco ushered in a new jazz organ era, and he&rsquo;s maintained his status as the baddest B3 player on the planet ever since, with a stream of fiercely swinging recordings. He opens a two-night Steamers stand on Friday with veteran drummer Ramon Banda, best known for his quarter century stint with Poncho Sanchez, and veteran saxophonist Steve Wilkerson (who featured DeFrancesco on his 2000 album &ldquo;A Blues Sorta Thing&rdquo;).<\/p>\n<p><strong>DETAILS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>When<\/strong>: Friday, February 11 and Saturday, February 12 at 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where<\/strong>: Steamers Jazz Club and Caf&eacute;, 138 W.
