Soul’d Out Productions presents Ben Paterson Organ Trio with Michael Raynor at Jack London Revue on Saturday, July 11 🎶
A night built on deep groove, soulful expression, and top-tier jazz musicianship in one of Portland’s most intimate rooms.
Internationally acclaimed pianist and Hammond organist Ben Paterson has built a global reputation for his effortless blend of swing, blues, and hard-bop tradition. A true storyteller on keys, his playing carries both technical precision and emotional depth, moving seamlessly between fiery improvisation and lyrical, blues-drenched melodies. His work as both a pianist and organist has made him a standout voice in modern jazz while staying deeply rooted in the lineage of the greats.
On drums, Michael Raynor brings decades of experience and a deeply responsive, conversational style behind the kit. A cornerstone of the Pacific Northwest jazz scene, Raynor is known for his dynamic touch, musical intuition, and ability to elevate every ensemble he’s part of—locking in the pocket while pushing the music forward in real time.
Together, this organ trio delivers a chemistry-driven performance where improvisation leads the way and every moment feels alive, spontaneous, and fully in the pocket.
Whether you’re a dedicated jazz head or just looking for an unforgettable night of live music in Portland, this is one not to miss.
