Dafnis Prieto Proverb Trio November 16, 2012

The powerhouse drummer presents something completely different: the Proverb Trio, which combines his explosive drumming with Jason Lindner's rhythmically intense electronic keyboards and Kokayi's freestyle singing, rapping, and vocal percussion. The Proverb Trio's self-titled debut album, issued via the drummer's own Dafnison Music, is Prieto's first recording since being awarded a MacArthur Fellowship (the so-called "genius grant") in 2011.
