Paul Abella Trio +1

  • Jazz Showcase 806 S Plymouth Ct Chicago United States (map)

The Paul Abella Trio is  an instrumental ensemble led by professional box sitter, Paul Abella, and featuring guitarist Billy Denk, bassist Chris Bernhardt, and in their +1 variant, vibraphonist Preyas Roy.

They fuse Pop melodies, Jazz harmonies, Brazilian, Afro-Cuban and Funk rhythms, jammy improvisations with punk ferocity. 

Look past the off-kilter instrumentation and the oddball setlists, and you’ll see a band upholding a tradition of Jazz as subversive party music. Drawing inspiration from Eddie Harris, Medeski, Martin & Wood, The Bad Plus, and Lester Bowie, they sound like little else.

Or, as one friend once said, "someone's going to have to invent a whole new genre just to describe you guys."
