Veteran musicians Joe Gil (trombone), Neil Alexander (organ and keyboards) and Nadav Snir-Zelniker (drums) are the "Thunderhead Organ Trio". The group takes the concept of the organ trio in a new and different direction, drawing on many different influences and styles. The group explores the grittier, rockier side of the genre referencing groups like the original Tony Williams Lifetime and mines the jazz standard repertoire for obscure gems and deep cuts. Joe Gil has performed with artists as diverse as David Murray, Craig Harris, Sonny Fortune, Cecil Bridgewater, Jimmy Owens, Willie Colon, Yomo Toro. As well as leading his own groups (Trio Of Terror and the Bean Runner Project). Neil Alexander has performed with artists such as Gunther Hampel, Virgil Donati, Alphonse Mouzon, Jesse Gress, the Mahavishnu Project, The Machine and many others. He also leads his own group “NAIL” and co leads (with Peter Furlan) a group called “Mr. Gone”, exploring the psychedelic side of early Jazz fusion.
