Adele, Trio Concept May 27, 2008

English soul and jazz singer Adele topped the UK album charts in 2008 with her debut album, '19' featuring the singles 'Hometown Glory,' 'Chasing Pavements,' and 'Cold Shoulder.' Adele graduated from the BRIT School in Croydon in May 2006; the same performing arts school attended by such perfomers as Amy Winehouse, Katie Melua, Leona Lewis and Kate Nash.

Formed in 2004, Trio Concept features the talent of Seattle's best young lions, Chris Icasiano on drums, Luke Bergman on bass, and Neil Welch on saxophones. A collaborative effort, the trio plays mostly freely improvised music which is heavily influenced by original composition. Their tunes span from multi-meter, polyrhythmic charts, to free improvisation and soundscapes.
