344 by Bruno Duplant, Frédéric Tentelier, Massimo Magee

344 is a set of improvisations featuring a trio of musicians located in two different countries playing four instruments in the creation of one unified sound.

Bruno Duplant's twin voices of double bass and percussion meet Frédéric Tentelier's lush but patient Fender Rhodes and Massimo Magee's sometimes agitated, sometimes relaxed reeds—spanning Sopranino, Alto and Tenor Saxophones and Clarinet—to evoke a 21st-century improvised re-imagining of a classical jazz sound.

Their relaxed and open interplay at times recalls the Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley and Steve Swallow trio, but with the contemporary edge of an enhanced awareness of place and gesture.

344 will be available digitally on April 5, 2022, joining Magee’s other releases on Orbit577 that include Live at Salon Villa Plagwitz, Cyclone Trio Cataclism Live at Cafe Oto, Cyclone Trio Electric, Live In the Metaverse and Abeyance.
