Trios have always been a popular format in jazz. This episode presents several different threesomes, but as you’ll hear, they are not all the typical piano/bass/drums. Two of those are definitely on the heavy side: Dave Rempis, Elisabeth Harnik & Michael Zerang and Survival Unit III with Zerang, Fred Lonberg-Holm & Joe McPhee. Finland’s popular trio, Hot Heros, sent along a preview of an upcoming release which you will hear in the first hour. Black History Month gets acknowledged with an extended set of music from Los Angeles’ The Gathering: Roots And Branches of Los Angeles Jazz.
