Aventurero from Buscas by NAIMA
Modern jazz piano trio that looks to split the difference between the high-energy of The Bad Plus and the spirited elegance of Brad Mehldau’s trio. For the most part, they’re successful. Tracks like “Trumpet Player” which brings in some arco action, and “Everything Means Nothing to Me,” which uses percussion to take cross-slices of melody, show the potential of this trio.
