The Bob Gluck Trio:
Bob Gluck, piano and electronics |
|
... brings a uniquely creative yet disciplined edge to jazz performance. All three musicians are known for their blend of virtuosity and deep musicality. The trio's watchwords are collaboration, listening and response, and collective dynamism. Structured tunes flow in and out of free improvisation, taking the performers and listeners alike to unexpected imaginative places.

Critics have noted bassist Michael Bisio's "diverse array of timbre and technical skill," Dean Sharp's percussive "mystery and grace," and Bob Gluck's "melding old and new into a sensory melange of auditory awakening."
Gluck's piano sounds subtley range between the purely acoustic and digitally transformed, joined by Sharp's broadly ranging sonic array of percussion and Bisio's distinctly physical approach to the string bass.
