from Thunder 2008
Get the subwoofers primed for this one. Three of jazz fusion's finest and most respected bassists -- Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten -- join forces for an hourlong frolic in the studio that's a fun, frisky, funky romp for the players and a potent showcase for an instrument often relegated to support status. Not here. On paper, it would seem unwieldy for three bass players, especially with the proficiency of this trio, to navigate their parts in the same song without the sound getting hopelessly cluttered. But it takes less than a minute into the opening track, which unexpectedly kicks off with full orchestration, for the concept to prove viable. One bass works the traditional low riff while the other two solo in harmony and trade licks with such ease and finesse that you wonder why someone didn't think of this collaboration earlier. Actually, someone did. Wooten came up with the idea but it took until the group worked together at the October 2006 Bass Player Live! event in N.Y.C. (where Clarke won the Bass Player Lifetime Achievement Award) for it to be discussed as a reality with the other two... Otherwise, this will thrill fusion fans -- and for bassists it's nothing less than a master class on the instrument from a handful of its most accomplished, eclectic, and veteran practitioners.
The trio was conceived by Wallace, who recruited Tim Landers (bass) and Jody Nardone (piano) in 2004.

from King Crimson Songbook, Vol. 2 2009
King Crimson founder Robert Fripp approved of the group, stating: "The CJ3 have respectfully and irreverently taken eight Crimson classics, repositioned them in the musical spectrum, and delivered their first songbook with superb musicianship in service to wit and invention".
This Norwegian power trio melds jazz improvisation with prog rock composition and heavy metal's dynamics.

from Jitterbug 2010
Rune Grammofon's contributions to the Norwegian jazz scene (and that of the world at large) continues with Bushman's Revenge's third album, finding the trio again exploring their own variety of garagey psych fusion... Jitterbug is at once a product of its time -- namely a worship of a lot of things going down sonically at the dawn of the '70s -- and something that doesn't quite fit into any easy description of that; they're a power trio and a jazz trio without settling for being specifically one or the other, as the excellent opener "Always in Motion the Future Is" shows...
