THE TRIO
Against the backdrop of over 25 years of creative collaboration Ben, Steve, and Ted weave musical conversations that are full of subtlety and surprise. They take turns arranging for the trio, which has released four albums: (2018 Sonic Camera), (2019 Plastic Sax), (2022 Sunnyside/Sonic Camera), and (2024, Sonic Camera). The trio is modeled after reedist/composer Jimmy Giuffre’s drummerless units of the 1950s and 60s. As jazz was becoming more expressionistic and at times bombastic, musicians like Giuffre were going in the opposite direction. They were envisioning quieter music that maintained elements of blues and folk, while also embracing the emerging qualities of free playing.Quiet RevolutionSomewhere Else - West Side Story SongsHealing Power: The Music of Carla BleyTell the Birds I Said Hello: The Music of Herbie Nichols
