NoMad Jazz Festival 2026 Events

Kyle Koehler brings the Hammond B-3 to life with fire, swing, and soul. Raised in Philadelphia, he grew up around the sound of masters like Shirley Scott and Charles Earland. He moved to New York in the 2000s and built a strong career as a bandleader and collaborator. He has performed with Lou Donaldson, Benny Golson, and Jimmy Heath. His album EXIT 13 earned acclaim and music from it appeared on HBO’s Sex and the City. A DownBeat Critics Poll Rising Star, Koehler keeps the organ tradition front and center while sounding fresh and unmistakably his own.
