King Tut Trio bring together soul-jazz, deep funk and a streak of mod mayhem.

Led by pianist and composer Tom Unwin, the trio features acclaimed double bassist Marcus Vergette—known for his longstanding work with Mike Westbrook—and drummer and multi-instrumentalist Ric Byer.

For this performance, they’re joined by singer and performance poet Mama Tokus, adding sharp, playful spoken word to the band’s soulful improvisations, unexpected covers and infectious electric-keyboard grooves.

Expect accomplished musicianship without the formality: hard-swinging jazz, deep-pocket funk and plenty of surprises. We’re delighted to welcome them to 12 Bar Music & Social.

For fans of: The James Taylor Quartet, Ramsey Lewis, Booker T. & the M.G.’s and Gil Scott-Heron.

Presented by 12 Bar Music & Social.
