About the Album
"Three Parts As One" is the first track from "How We Do" from John Yao's Triceratops featuring trombonist/composer Yao's vigorous, thrilling three-horn quintet with master saxophonists Billy Drewes and Jon Irabagon, along with bassist Peter Brendler and drummer Mark Ferber. "How We Do" is the latest showcase for Yao's composing and arranging gifts, previously evidenced in his work with his own quintet and his adventurous big band, the 17-Piece Instrument. Yao's writing for Triceratops corrals the audacious virtuosity of the three horn masters, propelled by the vigorous rhythm tandem of Brendler and Ferber. Triceratops' name suggests multifarious parts coalescing into a harmonious, organic whole. In his orchestral thinking Yao echoes Duke Ellington, who famously thought of his renowned band as his instrument.
