Soul Vaccination with B-3 Legend Chester Thompson
(ex-Santana & Tower of Power Organist)

Northwest’s Hottest Funk & Soul Band
Soul Vaccination is sizzling hot. If you like Tower of Power, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin or Earth, Wind & Fire, you will love this band – because they are just as good! Their horn section (band leader Dave Mills, Lewis Livermore, Ron Regan, Gary Harris and Timothy Bryson) is tighter than the Jonas Brothers pants! Their vocals (Paul Creighton, Mark Wyatt & Regina K) are the very definition of sweet soul music.  Their rhythm section (Edwin Coleman III, John Linn, Max Rees, and Glenn Holstrom) is funk on steroids. 13 people on stage – watch out! 

Chester Thompson, B-3 Organ
Chester will join the band for an exclusive Bend appearance, playing an original Hammond B-3 organ (we have located the prized instrument right here in Bend). Thompson is a legend. Thompson moved from his native Oklahoma to the Bay Area in 1969, where he became ensconced in the jazz scene before releasing his debut album, Powerhouse, in 1971. A chance meeting with members of the Oakland-based funk band Tower of Power led to a 10-year stint with the band, which began with his scorching solo on one of their signature hits, "What Is Hip?".  Thompson jumped to Santana in the early 80’s, recording eight albums with the group. It is a pleasure to welcome a musician of this stature to our Jazz at the Oxford series!
