Wee Trio October 16, 2009

2 sets each night (October 16-17) starting at 8:30 and 10:15.

The Wee Trio is a collaborative musical exploration consisting of vibraphonist James Westfall, bassist Dan Loomis, and drummer Jared Schonig. While rooted in jazz, The Wee Trio finds ways to break boundaries, encompassing their other roots in rock and fusion.

Each member of trio is a leader in their own right, with their respective recordings showing the legacy of their visionary bandleading. Westfall’s "Independent" was released on Bionic Records, causing Jazztimes to write "...declarative and uplifting, incorporating elements of rock and hip-hop...Westfall's style is distinctive." Meanwhile, Loomis’ "I Love Paris," released on Jazz Excursion, was praised as “…one of the top releases of 2007” by Scott Yanow of All Music Guide.
