The Chicago Experiment is a Chicago-based organ trio led by Connor Bernhard on guitar, trumpet, compositions, and arrangements, with Zack Marks on drums and Andrew “Larry” Lawrence on Hammond B3.
Longtime collaborators through New Nostalgia, Bonzo Squad, and other projects, the three combine jazz’s harmonic depth and improvisational spirit with the grooves and melodies of popular music. The result is a high-energy, funk-forward sound featuring inventive covers alongside original compositions.
The Chicago Jazz Festival returns this year with performances celebrating all forms of jazz in Millennium Park, at the Chicago Cultural Center and citywide.
