Three in music has been always a magic number. Every now and then a new trio comes out which renews the realization of how richly creative music can be Trios in jazz aren't uncommon, but different could be the approach to the composed material and improvisation: this is the case of the new exciting project, the WEST COAST CHAMBER JAZZ TRIO.
The group was formed by Andrea Centazzo, Ellen Burr and Jeff Schwartz at the end of Summer 2015 and has been rehearsing together and building a repertoire since then. All materials they perform are original compositions from the vast repertoire of Andrea Centazzo. Being all three masters of free improvisation, they add a new perspective to the classic jazz trio formula.As an unusual ensemble they plan to fill a void in the sound palette of contemporary jazz keeping in mind the old masters' lesson but also the new boundaries of the improvised music.
The WCCJT render the anticipation of “What comes next?” easy to accept. The concept of this new project is built on the careful traveling through an alluring, appealing and mysterious atmosphere to a place of surprise....
