The Meraki Trio is a new collaboration between renowned genre-bending musicians Scott Petito, Mino Cinelu, and Steve Gorn. Together they take listeners on a journey through ancient and modern music that is meditative yet buoyant, experimental yet familiar combining trance, world beat, jazz and folk traditions.

Scott is an award-winning composer, producer and engineer. He is a gifted bassist and multi-instrumentalist who has performed on hundreds of recordings in many musical styles. Scott has become particularly well known for his work in the folk and jazz genres, working with such musicians as James Taylor, Pete Seeger, The Band, Keith Richards, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Michael Franks, John Scofield, Dave Brubeck and many more.

The strength of his music arises from a virtuoso mastery, generating a vibrant fusion, alive and accessible to western ears. From Indian classical music to world music and jazz projects with Paul Simon, Jack DeJohnette, Paul Winter and others, Steve infuses great mastery with a haunting, lyrical sweetness to bring the healing breath of the sacred to our demanding contemporary lives.
