About
I'm excited to announce that Park St. Trio, one of the Bay Area's emergent jazz ensembles, will release its second album on June 7, 2013.
Park St. Trio's first album, "Goodnight, Daylight," was released in 2011 and since then we have played across the Bay Area and have met with great success in promoting the first recording. The music features a traditional jazz sound with emphasis in strong melodies, creative chord changes, and a friendly, accessible vibe.
The new album, "3 Plus 5," is more adventurous and highlights our growth as a band. The songwriting leans more modern while maintaining the strong melodies that makes our music enjoyable. We added five guest musicians to 3 Plus 5, including the outstanding Dave Eshelman, who directed the Cal State East Bay jazz program for many years, on trombone. This approach has resulted in many new sounds and textures, and we were able to capture a new energy using instruments like, trombone, clarinet, sax and xylophone. The album was also recorded in analog directly to 1" inch tape. What you hear is literally what the band played - no magic studio fixes....
