URI CAINE ACOUSTIC TRIO

Uri Caine piano, John Hebert bass, Ben Perowsky drums

When Uri Caine performs in the seasoned line-up of the acoustic piano trio you can expect something special. As one of the greats of the adventurous New York downtown scene the pianist/composer knows how to incorporate anything, whether it is electric funk or renditions of Beethoven, Mozart and Mahler. Like kindred spirit John Zorn he is able to marry extremes in a logical way. ‘The trio works together beautifully and the results are a delight’ (Penguin Guide to Jazz).
