About

Lift marks the debut recording of the Scott Amendola Trio, but the leader’s relationship with Parker and Shifflett stretches back through several years and a variety of configurations.
Amendola and Parker studied at Berklee College of Music together in the late eighties, and Shifflett entered the picture a few years later, after Amendola relocated to the Bay Area.

All three first combined, along with guitarist Nels Cline and violinist Jenny Scheinman, on Believe (Cryptogramophone, 2005) by the drummer’s long-running quintet.
