Gold—Diggers, Los Angeles
When three powerhouse musicians from across the funk, soul, and jazz worlds collide, you get a trio that’s as deep in the pocket as it is fearless on the bandstand. On drums, **Zak Najor** (The Greyboy Allstars, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Gregory Porter) brings his signature blend of West Coast funk, jazz finesse, and rock grit. A founding member of the legendary Greyboy Allstars, Najor’s feel and groove have helped define the sound of modern soul-jazz. Holding down the low end and firing up the high energy on Hammond organ is **Wil Blades**, one of the most respected organists in the game. A disciple of groove and tone, Blades has shared the stage and studio with icons like Charlie Hunter, Idris Muhammad, and The Headhunters. Simply put—he’s a killer. On guitar, **Scott Pemberton** rounds out the trio with raw, unfiltered energy. A nationally touring artist out of Portland, Oregon, Pemberton is being hailed as “the Bruce Lee of guitar” for his fearless improvisation, fluid style, and mastery across genres. His music fuses funk, rock, and jazz into a sound that’s as explosive as it is unique.
