ABOUT THE GROUP
Thrio is the uncompromising sound of pianist Andrew Berinson, bassist Paul Creel, and drummer Donovan Cheatham—three deeply connected musicians whose artistry is rooted in the straight-ahead jazz tradition while embracing creative exploration. Formed in central North Carolina, Thrio presents a compelling blend of original compositions and reimagined American standards, delivered with clarity, swing, and purpose.
The group emerged organically from years of collaboration, musical kinship, and shared spiritual and artistic values. Thrio is a band in the truest sense—three distinct, consistent musical voices committed to creating something greater together. Their sound reflects not only their diverse musical influences but also a bond forged by brotherhood, faith, and a shared devotion to the music. Thrio released their debut single Find Your Way in August 2022, followed by their first full-length album Thrio Volume 1 just one month later. Their latest release, Thrio Volume 2, dropped worldwide on March 21, 2025, showcasing the group’s growth in dynamic range, compositional depth, and ensemble cohesion.
Individually and collectively, the members of Thrio have performed at premier events including the Duck Jazz Festival, Savannah Jazz Festival, Detroit Jazz Festival, Topsail Jazz Festival, and Jacksonville Jazz Festival. They are sought-after collaborators who regularly perform with notable figures such as Nnenna Freelon, Pierce Freelon, Carmen Lundy, and Stephen Riley. Between them, they have shared the stage with jazz luminaries including Branford Marsalis, Ellis Marsalis, Mary Stallings, Joe Chambers, Wallace Roney, Nicholas Payton, Herlin Riley, Tia Fuller, Wycliffe Gordon, and many others. Thrio continues to carve a space for honest, swinging, and spiritually grounded jazz in the modern musical landscape.
