The Preacher Men
A deep-growling Hammond organ, a ripping saxophone and back beats that you simply cannot sit still to. Hallelujah to The Preacher Men!
Three men with three missions:
1- Bringing you back to the days of the classic hammond trios from the 1950s and 1960s.
2- Evoking the sounds of Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff, Lou Donaldson & Stanley Turrentine.
3- Securing a free meal on Sundays.
Now let The Preacher Men take you back to the time of smoky jazzclubs in Chicago and New York. They are gathered here to convert you to their soulful & funky music! So, come on dear beloved brothers & sisters, and join today’s services. Amen!

After the release in 2016 of their widely acclaimed debut Preaching Out Loud (“The Preacher Men are a new super trio!”, according to Jazzism), and intense gigging, The Preacher Men returned to the studio this Spring to record their 2nd album, entitled Blue.
And yes, the title refers to the music genre as well as to the mood. Captured in 10 ‘groovy-blue’ songs, 8 of them are brand new compositions by saxophonist Efraim Trujillo.
The legendary engineer/producer Al Schmitt collaborated with the Dutch trio on some of the recordings.
Efraim Trujillo–saxophones, vocals
Rob Mostert – Hammond organ
Chris Strik – drums
Guests:
Michael Varekamp- trumpet
Rory Ronde - guitar
Eline Gemerts- vocals
