This concert is being co-produced with New Ghosts.
This exciting new trio features three of the most notable musicians in New York’s vibrant creative music scene—drummer Ches Smith (John Zorn, Tim Berne, Marc Ribot), pianist Craig Taborn (Chris Potter, Dave Douglas, Wadada Leo Smith), and violist Mat Maneri (Marilyn Crispell, Paul Motian).
Smith has composed a book of music that draws on the chemistry of the group. There is through composed material as well as pieces designed to stimulate open-ended improvisation. The group will release its debut CD, The Bell(ECM) in January 2016.
Regarding the group's debut at Winter Jazzfest NYC, 2014:
The best thing I caught all weekend was a superb trio led by drummer Ches Smith with pianist Craig Taborn and violist Mat Maneri, which expertly infused seductively draggy, narcotic writing with a mixture of brooding melody and rich texture. The band had sheet music, but it seemed to offer a loose road map rather than a strict score. -Chicago Reader
