Long time collaborators Erika Oba (piano) and Chris Bastian (bass) are joined by Jeremy Steinkoler (drums), performing original compositions and arranged works that cover an incredibly dynamic range of emotions and styles. Drawing on influences from Thelonius Monk to Okinawan folk music, the band deftly navigates from be-bop to classically influenced, through-composed pieces, captivating audiences by relying on deep listening and a remarkably intuitive sense of comping and phrasing to support one another.
The group’s previous performance moved Back Room owner Sam Rudin to describe it as, “one of the finest afternoons of music we’ve EVER had here."
