• DIGIPACK EDITION

A standard takes on a new shape when it is realized through Trio New York’s methods. Their improvised preludes promote refreshed readings studded with bright accents and pungent embellishments, reinforcing the qualities that have enabled these tunes to endure, be it the sweet sentimentality of “Memories of You” or the devil-may-care of “Just One of Those Things.” By embracing the tenets of free improvisation – experimentation, discovery, and, on a good night, elucidation – Trio New York has transformed the history-saturated sound of tenor, B3, and drums, one that for decades exuded Saturday Night Function, a sound that is secular yet congregational, brimming with traditional jazz messages of conviviality and connection. They serve up a new recipe for cooking with grease.Bill Shoemaker
