With horn like, blues-drenched lines and a warm, fat sound, Bob DeVos has an enthusiastic following for his signature mix of groove and sophistication. His trio’s tight-knit performances of jazz standards, Rhythm & Blues, ballads, and Bob’s hip compositions and arrangements thrill audiences nationwide. His recent HighNote/ Savant Records releases were on the top ten charts for 46 weeks & on many Top Ten CD lists.

Bob has played with a who’s who of jazz legends both in and outside of the Hammond B3 organ genre, including Richard “Groove” Holmes-Sonny Stitt, Jimmy McGriff-Hank-Crawford, and The Charles Earland Band with Eric Alexander, as well as many modern players. In recent years he has performed at the Kennedy Center, the Blue Note, the Kitano, SMOKE, plus many national & international festivals. Critics hail Bob as “the thinking man’s guitar hero, a brilliant, knowing bebop player,” and dig his “infectious, funky groove.”
