Joe McPhee Trio X + Trio Caveat
Trio X consists of three like-minded improvisers Joe McPhee (Saxophone/trumpet), Dominic Duval (Bass), and Jay Rosen (Drums). The band was founded after its premier at the 1988 Vision Jazz Festival. Sharing an affinity for popular jazz standards, the trio’s musical repertoire is on one hand influenced by the likes of Thelonius Monk, Ornette Coleman, and Freddie Hubbard, and the other refined by the avant-garde sensibilities of their contemporary musical practice.
The three members have performed with a variety of musicians, McPhee with Evan Parker and William Parker, Duval with Cecil Taylor, Mark Whitecage, and Steve Swell, and Rosen with Sonny Simmons, Anthony Braxton, and Charles Gayle. They have released a number of recordings on the CIMP and Cadence Jazz Records labels and continue to receive critical acclaim for their live concerts and festival appearances.
Trio Caveat consists of bassist James Ilgenfritz, saxophonist Jonathan Moritz, and guitarist Chris Welcome. A parlour jazz trio, they have perfomred throughout the U.S. in art galleries, cafes, concert halls, parlors, and basements. Initially formed as a trio with Moritz, Ilgenfritz, and drummer John McLellan, the group’s discreet dynamics and attention to unlikely sonorities facilitate the deepest possible listening experience.
