Gordon Beeferman introduces his ORGAN TRIO, with guitarist Anders Nilsson and drummer/percussionist Ches Smith. Riffing on the classic jazz organ trio through a 21st century lens, Beeferman’s concert-length set of compositions riff on the classic jazz organ trio through a 21st-century lens. Completed at the Ucross Foundation in Wyoming in the fall of 2016, these intricate and extended pieces traverse unusual moods, forms, rhythms, and sound-worlds, opening up to feature each member of the trio, each unique virtuoso improvisers in their own right.
