These gifted artists have achieved the almost impossible: creating a completely unique ensemble voice using traditional jazz trio sensibilities. Their multi-directional influences from jazz and classical to world music provide a free flowing, totally unpredictable musical experience. This acoustic piano, bass and drum trio creates music with simplicity and complexity with a wide range of dynamics and textures. The eighteen tracks on their debut CD, "Thelonius Bach's Lunch", combine song form, improvisation, intensity, space, and humor to achieve exceptional musical expression. There is a special level of communication between these longtime friends that is heard and felt in the music. Individually, these three musicians have performed and recorded with some of the world's greatest musicians including; Gil Evans, Pat Metheny, Sting, Bobby McFerrin, Herbie Hancock, John Mclaughlin, Booker T. and the MG's, Joan Osborne and many others. Together they form one of the most exciting Trios in contemporary music.
