Chris Hazelton - In Rotation

Chris Hazelton is one of today’s foremost Hammond B-3 organists, known for his soulful groove, impeccable touch, and deep command of the soul-jazz tradition.  A lifelong Kansas Citian, Hazelton studied under two giants of the instrument: local legend Everette DeVan and the iconic Dr. Lonnie Smith. Their influence continues to shape his approach, blending gospel, hard bop, and funk into a sound both rooted and forward-looking.

Hazelton performs widely with his own organ groups and is a featured member of acclaimed soul collective The Freedom Affair as well as British rhythm & blues outfit The James Hunter Six. Whether laying down gritty grooves or swinging with finesse, Hazelton brings an unmistakable voice on the B-3 to every project he touches.
