Cornelia St. Cafe presents:
THE CHRIS CROCCO FLUID TRIO
featuring:
Chris Crocco - Guitar
George Garzone - Saxophone
Francisco Mela- Drums
Thursday March 6th @ 8:30p.m.
“.....With his debut release, Crocco and his trio judiciously parallel the inference of the album title. Featuring sax giant George Garzone and drummer Francisco Mela, the music iterated here bridges finesse with power. Crocco frames a good portion of this set on an open-air platform, where the trio delves into latter-day Trane-isms amid movements where they engage in punchy unison choruses. On the Wizard of Oz-culled “If I Only Had A Brain," Crocco's anthem-like reading is offset by Mela's asymmetrically engineered, rumbling and tumbling pulses. In sum, the trio affords itself ample stretching room to coincide with an uncanny semblance of flexibility, brute force and progressive-jazz like expansion." - Glenn Astarita - Allaboutjazz
“This is one of the more original discs this reviewer has encountered in a long time, presenting free and indeed fluid improvisation as refracted through the instrumental prism created by electric plectrist Crocco." - John Stevenson - EJazznews
