Satoko Fujii’s Tokyo Trio is a lithe, quick-witted ensemble capable of terrific speed and excitement as well as subtle textures and tone colors. The extraordinary rapport between Fujii and fellow Japanese artists Natto Maki on bass and Oden on drums gives the trio a distinctive group sound full of “grace, sophistication, surprise and ingenuity”. With a deep knowledge and love of the jazz tradition as its foundation, Tokyo Trio ventures into bold, new and thrilling sonic territory.

LSD Trio is Linsey Wellman on baritone saxophone, pedals; Scott Warren, tape loops, electronics, percussion; and David Jackson on guitar, modular synth, laptop. The band is based in experimenting and improvising with live performance as its primary output often using samples and field recordings made from their environment. The instrumental configuration for shows is always changing and most always improvised. Primarily though this involves instruments being highly processed in real time with pedals, software, and tape, often resulting in large looped noisy ambiences that shift into funky jaggy instrumental rock.
