Bill Anschell Peru Reunion Trio at Seattle Jazz Fellowship

Pianist Bill Anschell toured Peru with this trio in 2006, and since, has been staging reunion shows periodically. In bassist Chris Symer and drummer / percussionist Jeff Busch, Anschell dwells in a comfort zone developed over years of performing modern jazz music with these bandmates.

Pianist Bill Anschell toured Peru with this trio in 2006, and since, has been staging reunion shows periodically. In bassist Chris Symer and drummer / percussionist Jeff Busch, Anschell dwells in a comfort zone developed over years of performing modern jazz music with these bandmates. The trip to Peru inspired the use of the sounds that surrounded them on their journey, manifesting in a unique style and format for improvisation. For Busch, it was yet another stop around the globe, gathering sounds, techniques and instruments to broaden his overall musical perspective.

Prior to the Peru tour, the then Atlanta based Anschell had toured South America several times, and journeyed to Paraguay with Symer and saxophonist Rich Cole in 2010. Currently, the trio features tunes from Peru, Paraguay, Chile, Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia, in addition to Anschell's well crafted originals. In all of this, the main concern is that Anschell, Symer and Busch are three of the most highly acclaimed voices on the Seattle jazz scene. The trio will have a two night residency to take a deep dive into their sound. https://seattlejazzfellowship.org/events
