Trio Beyond

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trio Beyond is a jazz fusion band, formed in 2003.

The trio was formed by drummer Jack DeJohnette and guitarist John Scofield, after conversations between the pair about how important Tony Williams was for them in that he provided musical influence as drummer and band leader. Organist Larry Goldings, another admirer of Williams' uncanny sense of time and rhytmic pulse, was invited to join Scofield and DeJohnette to form the trio that aim to pay tribute to The Tony Williams Lifetime band of the 70s.

The trio have performed many concerts since their formation. A concert from the Queen Elizabeth Hall at the 2004 London Jazz Festival was released in 2006 on ECM records. This debut double disc album was named Saudades.
