In 2004, three San Francisco Bay Area musicians decided to create a rhythm section devoted to their own compositions and individualized arrangements of standards. After recording its studio demo in 2005, “THE TRIO” began a series of public performances in clubs (i.e., Shanghai 1930, The Agenda, Anna’s Jazz Island, Piedmont Piano Company) and festivals (San Jose Jazz Fesitval). “THE TRIO’s” debut cd, PRAYER FOR PEACE—a mix of 4 standards and 9 original compositions—appeared on Flying Rabbit Records in October 2007.
