The Trio The Trio are a hip threesome (but you had already guessed that, hadn't
you?) from Oslo in Norway. Their
ne-up features tenor saxophone, bass and drums, a classic combination made famous by Sonny Rollins in the late 505, and much copied (but rarely bettered) since. The Trio hold court twice in Henry's, but will be joined on the Sunday date by a special guest, American saxophonist Rick Margitza.
Henry’s Cellar Bar, Sat 29 Jul, 9pm; Sun 30 Jul, 9pm.
jazz MUSIC
The sell-out notices are likely to go up sharpish for the return of saxophonist Courtney Pine (now an OBE, no less), ahead of a new album release in September. The disc, Back In The Day, is being described as 'a cutting ed e blend of tradition and technology with a trace of 705 style soul', and Courtney will doubtless feature plenty 0? music from it, alon side the more established favourites.
Queen’s Hall, Sat 2 Jul, 8.30pm.
