organissimo formed in late 2000 as a vehicle for guitarist Joe Gloss and organist Jim Alfredson’s growing stable of songs. When they met at Michigan State University in the late 1990s, the two quickly recognized a rare musical chemistry and began a search for a complementary drummer and soon found Randy Marsh. Their focus is on original material that extends the tradition of the classic organ-based trio. organissimo's music has received numerous local and national awards. Their latest album, Groovadelphia, topped the CMJ Jazz Charts for three weeks at #1 and stayed in the Jazz Week Top 50 for 14 weeks. organissimo’s music skirts over stylistic fences and thus satisfies a diverse range of tastes. The group has toured extensively across the United States and throughout Europe.
