O-10:
Got out my CD of Trio Tres Bien. It was a lot better than I remember it being the first time around. My favorite tune is 'Tender-Hearted'.
Their sound belies the small size of the group. The really get a lot out of just the three players. I said once before, that the composition of the picture on the back of the CD could have been better. But they play very well.
*****Although I've never been to New York, they seem to think what ever originates there has or should set the standard; "It ain't necessarily so."****
I agree that the NYC arts community seems to be of this point of view, but this is probably true of all major cities in all countries. They are full of themselves. :) I remember seeing a program on TV about the NYPO playing in North Korea. They can take their asses to that nut job country, but I bet they have never played in Mississippi or Kansas etc....... Too hip I guess.
*****I don't approach music from an intellectual point of view*****
John Philip Sousa says:
"Jazz will endure just as long people hear it through their feet instead of their brains."
You can find any number of great musicians to support ANY point of view on Jazz and Music. I think Sousa nailed it.
Cheers
