The Lost Trio was formed in 1994 and stepped into existence with a steady gig on thursday nights at the Rose Pistola in San Francisco's north beach district. This residency was followed by four year stint on Sundays at Cato's Ale house in Oakland. The trio has a history of touring that has focused on the west coast, where they have also enjoyed workshops at colleges and universities, festival dates, live radio broadcasts and in-store performances.
The Lost Trio has released six critically acclaimed releases on CD, including their latest, MONKWORK, which was listed on NPR's Top 10 Jazz releases of 2016.
The groups' repertoire began with a program of mainly standards by Thelonious Monk, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and others before veering into other sources. Since then, the trio has fashioned a very unique collection of over 600 songs that range from composers as diverse as Hank Williams, Nino Rota, Steve Lacy, Carla Bley, Billy Strayhorn, Mel Tillis, the Grateful Dead, Bjork, and PJ Harvey, in addition to an ever-growing roster of original compositions by members
Phillip Greenlief and
Dan Seamans.
