Simply named TRIO, these three musicians, through their complex and exacting music, expand the definition of what is considered 'doable' by a jazz ensemble made up of only three players. Collectively, they have performed with such jazz notables as Rosemary Clooney, Bud Shank, Carl Saunders and Pete Christlieb to name just a few. And two of TRIO's members helped form the seventies jazz group SOLAR PLEXSUS.
