Raphael Wressnig, based in Austria but frequently on the road, is not your ordinary B-3 organ player. He’s actually one of a kind: a young master of the imposing, large instrument who is expansive in his breadth of expertise. He’s technically fluent in the blues, in jazz, in soul, and in funk, and he concocts exciting mixed-genre music from his fervid imagination. Versatile Wressnig doesn’t flaunt his virtuosic talent for the sake of spectacle but rather backs up his every movement on the keyboards, the drawbar and the bass pedal boards with a fierce emotional commitment. Influenced by royal predecessors like Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott, Booker T. Jones and Joe Zawinul, Wressnig has taken his music throughout Europe and all over the world, from North Africa and Asia to the Middle East to the United States, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and the Caribbean. This self-effacing musician, a native of Graz in southeast Austria, has recorded at least 16 feature albums and appeared as a guest on about 30 others. In 2013, 2015 & 2016, he was honored with a nomination for best organ player of the year in Downbeat Magazine.

Raphael Wressnig, con sede en Austria, pero con frecuencia en la carretera, no es un organista ordinario del B-3. En realidad es único en su tipo: un joven maestro del imponente instrumento de gran tamaño que es expansivo en su amplia experiencia. Es técnicamente fluido en el blues, en el jazz, en el soul y en el funk, y elabora música excitante de género mixto a partir de su férvida imaginación. El versátil Wressnig no alardea de su talento virtuoso por el bien del espectáculo, sino que respalda cada uno de sus movimientos en los teclados, en la barra de tiro y en los pedales de los bajos con un feroz compromiso emocional. Influenciado por sus predecesores reales como Jimmy Smith, Shirley Scott, Booker T. Jones y Joe Zawinul, Wressnig ha llevado su música por toda Europa y por todo el mundo, desde el norte de África y Asia hasta Oriente Medio, Estados Unidos, Brasil, Chile, México y el Caribe. Este músico, oriundo de Graz, en el sudeste de Austria, ha grabado al menos 16 álbumes de largometrajes y ha aparecido como invitado en unos 30 álbumes más. En 2013, 2015 y 2016, fue honrado con una nominación al mejor organista del año en la revista Downbeat.
