Lisa Mezzacappa Trio
http://www.lisamezzacappa.com/projects_trio.html

Over the past four years, the Lisa Mezzacappa Trio, with the superlative
Brooklyn-based musician/composers Chris Welcome and Mike Pride, has grown into
a bicoastal avant-jazz power trio, exploiting the musicians' diverse
compositional aesthetics with a deep exploration of trio chemistry and
interaction. The group nimbly navigates intricate composed material, conceptual
improvisation, spacious jazz feeling and unfettered escapades in
avant-noise. Welcome's gorgeous tone, thoughtful lines and lean original
compositions belie his shredding heavy metal soul; Pride's surprising, dynamic,
extraordinarily creative drumming is matched by his truly original
compositional voice. Mezzacappa provides propulsive lines, arco espressionism
and melodic counterpoint - with inventive original material that revels in the
sound of a rhythm section having a really good time, all by itself.
