The trio’s exceptional and exciting interplay and musical conversations during the improvisations have thrilled and delighted audiences who love the sound and concept of the jazz piano trio.

“It takes the seasoned pro longer to listen than it does to play and this trio is like a group of friends having a deep conversation getting a perfect balance between transmitting and receiving” – Jerry Bergonzi
