Machline/ Herrera/ Ceravolo

Since 2002 the trio has been nonstop on their presentations on the main jazz stages in Bs As (Notorious, Thelonious, Jazz & Pop, Jazz Voyeur, Club Lounge, El Gorriti, etc), Festivals (Festival Internacional Bs As. Jazz, La Plata Jazz Festival, Festival de Jazz de San Miguel, Festival de Jazz de Rio Cuarto, etc), in the rest of Argentina (Mar del Plata, Rosario, Chascomus, etc), etc. Until 2009 they had Pocho Lapouble on drums (who died that year) and from then on, the renowned drummer Luis Ceravolo (resident in Europe until then) replaced him on the trio, so the current group is: Norberto Machline, Alejandro Herrera and Luis Ceravolo. The group�'s characteristic is to maintain the Standard trio language, adding to it the knowledge and experience of each of these outstanding musicians (all of them also with personal CDs previously edited). From the classical way to play jazz of Machline (considered as one of the best Argentinean jazz pianists), from the contemporary fusion style and the influences of rock that Herrera brings to the group (that took him to join international groups of artists such as Al DiMeola, Karlheinz Miklin, etc.), or the wideness of styles and virtuous ways of Ceravolo (covering from Luis Alberto Spinetta to Piazzolla, etc.), creating a very personal style in the group.

The trio edited 2 CDs: - “Notorious en Vivo” (MDR). Basically all times standards (from Thelonious Monk to The Beatles) recorded live. -"Es lo que hay" (MDR). This CD included more personal compositions of the 3 members of the trio, together with some beautiful jazz standards.

………. The trio of Norberto Machline, Alejandro Herrera and Luis Ceravolo also played straight-ahead jazz, but in a funkier style. Pianist Machline was thoughtful and soulful during Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island," evoking Horace Silver's style. Jobim's "Chega de Saudade" was outstanding, taken at a fast tempo, each solo kicking ass. Machline was sublime on "You Don't Know What Love Is," with nice alternate harmonies, along with beautifully placed single-note runs. Bassist Herrera, who would appear with other groups during the festival, showed monster chops on electric and acoustic axes. His rapid runs were clean and strong, his solos resourceful and expressive, particularly on electric bass. An outstanding player.
