Jamie Saft, Steve Swallow and Bobby Previte redefine the organ trio on their third release.

You Don’t Know the Life, due out January 2019 via RareNoise Records, takes the undefinable, exploratory trio into stunning new directions with a blend of evocative original compositions, inventive free improvisations, and unexpected standards.

Over the last three decades, visionary keyboardist, producer and composer Jamie Saft has made a career out of reinvention. His genre-obliterating range is evidenced by the stunningly diverse innovators with whom he’s collaborated – a list that includes John Zorn, Beastie Boys, Bad Brains, John Adams, Iggy Pop, Donovan, and The B-52s. Now, on his third RareNoise outing with avant-jazz greats Steve Swallow and Bobby Previte, Saft shifts his iconoclastic focus to the organ trio tradition. You Don’t Know the Life (to be released on January 2019) finds the trio engaging in uniquely electrified explorations of original compositions, free improvisations, and generation-spanning standards.
