The trio formed in the summer of 2021, playing pop-up gigs at Locarno Beach for the love of great

music, and has been together ever since, playing clubs and festivals all over B.C.

Our brand of contemporary jazz is based on standards made famous by writers and performers that we

know and love. Our music takes these wonderful compositions a step further: we alter form and feel,

and bring new ideas and mindsets to the music, making it our own. The trio’s repertoire is forever

expanding, and includes pieces by Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Lester Bowie, and Chet Baker, as

well as Miles, Coltrane, Cannonball, Billy Strayhorn, and the composers of the Great American Songbook

including music from today and undoubtably tomorrow.
