THE THOMAS TRIO STARTED OUT 2002 ON THE BASIS OF THE COMMON EXPERIENCE OF THOMAS AND NICHOLAS IN A SEXTET. THE TRIO PLAYS ITS OWN COMPOSITIONS WITH A MARKED INFLUENCE FROM COMPOSERS LIKE JOE HENDERSON, WAYNE SHORTER, CHARLES MINGUS, DAVE HOLLAND,...

THE ABSCENCE OF A CHORDAL INSTRUMENT PRODUCES A VERY OPEN KIND OF JAZZ, GIVING A LOT OF FREEDOM TO SOLOISTS WHILE N EVERT FALLING INTO CHAOS. THIS IS TRUE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THEIR OWN PIECES AS WELL AS WHEN THEY REVISIT CLASSICS FROM THE JAZZ REPERTOIRE.
