Powered by a dynamic rhythm section of bass and percussion, the George Crotty Trio’s sound deviates from a trio's typical hierarchy. The three players intertwine on their own spontaneous terms in an exploration of groove and colour, lending Crotty's tunes an exciting three-dimensional quality. Canadian band: Jonathan Chapman (bass), Matias Recharte (percussion).               American band: John Murchison (bass), Jeremy Smith (percussion).
“Transcends the trio format.” - The WholeNote“A stream of genre-blurring invention.” - All About Jazz“Sounds like the cosmopolitan centre Toronto is.” - Canadian Music Centre
