Emily Takahashi Trio

Instant chemistry is what this trio felt when they first came together to explore spontaneous composition.  With drummer Russ Meissner’s shimmering soundscapes, bassist Bill McCrossen’s soulful deep tones, and pianist Emily Takahashi’s coloristic finger painting, new worlds of music arise each time they get together.  They move seamlessly between original compositions and open improvisation, following the will of the music and the moment.   This concert will feature new works by members of the trio, as well as deep dives into the world of spontaneous group composition.
