This trio aims to break out of the traditional jazz constraints, exploring everything from Chet Baker to Randy Newman to the Beetles. Trevor Lamb on bass and vocals, Brad Billmaier on Drums and Will Schneider on Horn. This group frequently adds Saxophonist Dan Bennett to round out a high energy and shockingly adventurous quartet.
