Description
Threeway have been engaging audiences for twenty years with their melodic, subtle jazz, all the while developing the intense interplay between the players that so characterises the group's identity and sound - a chamber jazz trio distinguished by the absence of drums.
The group consists of Steve Waterman on trumpet/flugelhorn, Steve Lodder on piano, Rhodes and Hammond organ and Ben Crosland on electric bass with special guest guitarist John Etheridge.
Harken! celebrates the trio's 20th anniversary with eleven original compositions written by the trio and John Etheridge as well as an interpretation of Joni Mitchell's "Black Crow". Four of the tracks make up The Hark Suite by Crosland and the inspiration for the title of the album.
"Sedbergh School in Cumbria, where I studied, and where I still enjoy a musical connection, is celebrating its Quincentenary next year," explains Crosland. "HARK " is an acronym for the four core values which encompass life at the school: Humility, Ambition, Resilience and Kindness."
