String Trio of New York: String Trio of New York With Anthony Davis

by Joel Roberts
December 1, 1997

Through twenty years and thirteen albums, the String Trio of New York has made a name for itself on the new music / experimental edge of the jazz world. This new album, a collaboration with composer and pianist Anthony Davis, is the group's first to focus almost exclusively on jazz standards as opposed to original compositions. For an ensemble associated with the avant-garde, this is an extremely accessible, straight-ahead album, and it is a rousing success.
