Trio Caveat March 31, 2006

New York?s Trio Caveat is an improvising ensemble whose unique approach points toward a new aesthetic wherein the entire history of Jazz group improvisation shares a brief, subtle moment of harmony. With an entirely new approach to rhythm section timekeeping and melodic counterpoint, Caveat celebrates elusive grooves and evocative melody, all half-forgotten the instant a note is made.

With a collective resume that includes Joe Maneri, Butch Morris, Eugene Chadbourne, Ken Vandermark, Gary Lucas, Otomo Yoshihide, and Tim Berne. Caveat has a wealth of experience making creative improvised music. Saxophonist Jonathan Moritz brings winding, airy lines on his tenor and soprano saxophones, meeting head-on the secret rhythm-tandem created by bassist James Ilgenfritz and drummer John McLellan. This is music which sneaks into the foreground of memory, at home in a space that was never there to begin with.

Trio Caveat?s debut record was released in June 2005 on Earthtones Recordings. The title, ?An All Too Brief Silence Which Speaks Untold Volumes?, has multiple roles for this record. Each word also serves as a name of one track on the record. The record is a treatise on paradoxes in jazz:: low-volume and low-density, but high-energy and high-concept. The band?s performance is proof that creative jazz can be captivating and engaging without sacrificing sensitivity or melody.
