The Patrick Kao Trio is a jazz guitar trio devoted to elegance, swing, and the enduring language of bebop. Guitarist Patrick Kao leads the ensemble with a refined melodic sensibility, drawing inspiration from the classic piano trio tradition of Barry Harris and Bud Powell, and reimagining that rhythmic poise and harmonic depth within a guitar-led setting.
Anchored by David Caballero on bass and Arvind Ramdas on drums, the trio is defined by subtle interplay, buoyant time, and a shared commitment to clarity and taste. In the lineage of great guitar trios led by Wes Montgomery and Barney Kessel, the group favors lyricism, relaxed authority, and a deep swing over excess.
The Patrick Kao Trio offers a sound that is timeless and understated—honoring the tradition while allowing the music to speak with quiet confidence and sophistication.
Frankie's After Dark takes place every Friday & Saturday night at Frankie's Jazz Club (755 Beatty) at 11PM. Tickets are $10 and are added to your bill at the end of the night. This series is curated & presented by Infidels Jazz.
