Drop Trio is an instrumental band from Houston, Texas. Born in 2002, the band has been playing original music across the southern United States, releasing two critically acclaimed studio albums and garnering many honors en route (among them, the Houston Press "Best Jazz", "Best Funk" and Best Keyboardist awards). Drop Trio draws comparisons ranging from jazz / funk fusion to instrumental avant-garde rock. With no guitar and no singer, the band thrives on group improvisation; no song is ever the same twice. The band's unassuming approach belies their deft chops and deep wells of creativity. They're just as likely to let loose with an airtight composition in 15/8 as they are a downtempo groove. With original things to say and the energy and technique to back it up, they keep their listeners continually engrossed. Interest in the band is widespread: Drop Trio has thousands of fans across the nation and abroad, many of whom keep tabs on the trio through their website, www.droptrio.com, which is updated daily with news and freely downloadable live shows. |
