Description
'My Trio Album' is the thrilling debut from renowned Melbourne based pianist James Bowers. Recorded at Tokyo's Studio Dede, the album features Earshift Music favourites, drummer Shun Ishiwaka and double bassist Marty Holoubek. The nine Bowers originals embody influences from Paul Bley, Messiaen, Electric Wizard and Philadelphia Experiment, creating a musical exploration through Bowers' broad stylistic vision. Performed with technical brilliance, lyrical beauty and, at times, explosive energy, the album presents a refreshing take on the acoustic piano trio format.
Bowers is a prolific and diverse presence in the Australian music scene. Collaborations and recording credits include Angus and Julia Stone, Remi, Sex on Toast, and Vaudeville Smash. It is in no small part thanks to his work in pop/funk/hip hop at such a high level that James is able to bring such a fresh, diversely informed perspective to making jazz and improvised music.
"Though fluent in many musical languages, he maintains a voice that is uniquely his own that permeates throughout his work." - Barney McAll
