The Kyle Asche Organ Trio continuously perform at many of the famous venues in Chicago including the Green Mill, Hothouse, Andy’s Jazz Club, Pops for Champagne, and Pete Miller’s. Mr. Asche was awarded as a semifinalist in the prestigious 2005 Thelonius Monk International Guitar Competition. In 2005 Kyle Asche’s debut album as a leader was released, The Hook Up (Orgin/OA2), and was very well received throughout the USA in the media and radio. Jazz Times stated, “Asche displays a beautiful sound and a well-developed melodic sense." Mr. Asche’s highly anticipated second CD as a leader, Blues For Mel (Tippin’), places himin the company of legendary elder jazz statesman of the organ, Melvin Rhyne (Wes Montgomery Trio from the 1960s), and Chicago based drummer George Fludas (Ray Brown, Cedar Walton Trios). This swinging album includes original compositions by both Kyle Asche and Melvin Rhyne in addition to other jazz classics.
