These three virtuoso musicians play their original compositions that bring together sounds from jazz, classical and folk music: rich harmonies, catchy melodies, and energetic improvising span the range from emotional to fun. The combination of instruments is unusual but sonically lush, making connections with a wide variety of musical influences from around the world. See below for tour dates.
