Garage a Trois: Always Be Happy But Stay Evil
by Doug Collette
Once the most cerebral of groovemeisters, when guitarist Charlie Hunter collaborated with saxophonist Skerik, vibraphonist Mike Dillon and drummer Stanton Moore, Garage a Trois reinvented itself two years ago when keyboardist Marco Benevento took the guitarist's place, a process that now continues with Always Be Happy But Stay Evil. In contrast to the kamikaze ...
The Dead Kenny Gs: Operation Long Leash
by Mark Corroto
The powerhouse trio known as The Dead Kenny Gs answers the musical question: can a jazz band have an uplift mofo party plan? With its collective experience, the group certainly can take the music one step beyond. Like their inspired namesakes, the 1970/80s punk band The Dead Kennedys, saxophonist Skerik, drummer/vibraphonist Mike Dillon, and ...

Marco Benevento: Between The Needles & Nightfall
by Chris May
Marco Benevento covers a lot of ground in his search for the lost chord--jazz, rock, jam band and spangly pop--but the Brooklyn-based composer and keyboard player is no fusionist.

Garage a Trois: Power Patriot
by Chris Kompanek
The lines between jazz and rock can become blurred inside of a really good groove. That's exactly what happens on Garage a Trois' Power Patriot. In spite of its hokey title with red state overtones, the ten songs it contains are tightly constructed jams composed largely by Mike Dillon and pianist Marco Benevento, whose own trio ...
Garage A Trois: Power Patriot
by Mark Corroto
The music of Garage A Trois is located somewhere on the map between do-it-yourself punk fusion and hip-hop jamband. The current lineup replaces guitarist Charlie Hunter, heard on Outre Mer (Telarc, 2006) and Emphasizer (Tone Cool, 2003), with keyboardist Marco Benevento. The effect is to push the music more towards saxophonist Skerik's prior efforts in the ...
