Honey Ear Trio

Honey Ear Trio is the new incarnation of long time musical cohorts Erik Lawrence, Rene Hart and Allison Miller. Together, these three passionate musicians approach the music with a sense of playfullness and elasticity. Honey Ear Trio creatively fuses the acoustic sound of a traditional saxophone trio with modern electronics derived from Hart's manipulation of his acoustic bass sound. They also explore mixing multiple genres (jazz, rock, soul, folk) while bending, stretching, and decompressing the rhythmic and harmonic characteristics of the music. Erik, Rene and Allison have performed as a core group in larger ensembles with Steven Bernstein, David Amram, John Medeski and the poet Robert Pinsky

Chick & Steve, Two Pairs of Covers, Wordplay & More

by Marc Cohn
December 14, 2018

Putting a show together, I sometimes amuse myself by posing programmatic 'problems' that help break my usual routines. To wit: we offer you two pairs of disparate covers of Wayne Shorter and Thelonious Monk tunes during the first hour and play word games with tune titles in the second hour. The 2018 Downbeat Readers' ...

Honey Ear Trio: Swivel

by Mark Corroto
October 16, 2016

The opening track of Allison Miller's new Honey Ear Trio recording, “Arby," had me singing the lyrics to “Heavy Metal Drummer," the 2002 Wilco hit song ..."She fell in love with the drummer/Another and another/She fell in love/I miss the innocence I've known/Playing KISS covers, beautiful and stoned." That connection is made from the heavy, maybe ...

Honey Ear Trio: Steampunk Serenade

by AAJ Italy Staff
August 22, 2011

L'iniziale “Matter of Time" ha il sapore del buon vecchio jazz che fu, una ballad voluttuosa con il sax tenore dalla voce calda e sensuale che fa sognare incontri da “mille e una notte". Ma ci sono piccole increspature, minimi scartamenti e irregolarità ritmiche che tolgono il brano da qualsiasi impasse zuccherina e presagiscono temporali in ...

Gutbucket: Cascades and Collisions

by Gordon Marshall
June 21, 2011

Over its 12-year career, Gutbucket has resituated its various musical parts like the pieces of a Rubik's cube. The elements of that cube, the sonic strains, have remained similar--an amalgam of fuzz rock, jumpy jazz, post-serial classicism--but its panoply of shifting color has been redeployed in unique ways on each of the Brooklyn-based quartet's five CDs, ...

Honey Ear Trio - Steampunk Serenade (2011)

June 4, 2011

By S. Victor Aaron Listening to Allison Miller's superb CD from last year Boom Tic Boom, I appreciated how it covered a lot of ground within advanced modern jazz, helped along by such sympathetic supporting players in this piano jazz trio. But that album still left me wondering where this ace drummer, composer and bandleader was ...

Honey Ear Trio - Steampunk Serenade (Foxhaven Records, 2011) ****

April 22, 2011

By Paul Acquaro The Steampunk literary genre essentially imagines a present informed by Victorian sensibilities and driven by steam technology. Imagine though, just for a moment, another alternate present in which popular music is not shaped by lowest common denominator tastes and gobs of derivative schmear. What do you hear? For me, the top forty slots ...
