Trio Flux

The Zwyze braintrust also includes:
Thomas Barber — composer, arranger, trumpeter, and educator who has performed with Paul Simon, esperanza spalding, and Brian Blade! He composed a complementary four-cello arrangement for “Couloir.” Thomas has been a longtime friend and supporter of Trio Flux since our early days at the Camellia Lounge, and his contribution gave the piece a beautiful, expansive new dimension.

That cello section featured Diane Chaplin, Katherine Schultz, Mario Bastea-Forte, and Valdine Ritchie Mishkin. Their performance adds a lush, emotional weight to “Couloir” that bridges jazz and chamber textures in a way Adam would have loved, and we're thrilled to have them performing with us on November 17th at The Alberta Rose Theatre, too!
