Joe Krown (Hammond B-3) and Walter Wolfman Washington (guitar & vocals) started playing together with Russell Batiste on drums in March 2007. The trio has been performing every Sunday at a local New Orleans nightclub, the Maple Leaf Bar. The trio is a classic organ trio line-up featuring the Hammond B-3 organ, guitar and drums. The combination of the soulful vocals of Walter with the big sound of the Hammond B-3 (which Joe also plays all of the bass parts on the B-3) has developed it's own unique sound. The trio recorded and released a live CD, Live at the Maple Leaf (JK1003) in the fall of 2008. Live at the Maple won a 2009 Offbeat Award for Best R&B/Funk CD. The trio also won a 2009 Big Easy Award in the "Best Rhythm & Blues Band" category. In the fall of 2010, the Trio released Triple Threat (JK1004), the follow up to Live at the Maple Leaf and their first studio CD. The trio's current release and 3rd CD Soul Understanding (JK1006) was released at the end of April 2013. In November 2010 the Trio was invited to be part of 15 city U.S. tour called "New Orleans Nights". The Trio performed a feature set and then backed up Nicholas Payton and Allen Toussaint. The trio has been touring all over the U.S. and the world since 2009.
