Search - Triplicate :: Day & Age

The improvisational jazz trio TRIPLICATE is founded on a principal rarely seen in jazz and other popular music today: they are an ensemble with a true Esprit de Corps sense of enthusiasm and devotion to their common cause of creating and performing a personal repertoire of music defined by their collective group sound. The trio has practiced this principal steadfastly for almost a decade. TRIPLICATE applies this principal to their original and adapted musical road map with a refined approach to the three elements making up the music they play: an unobscured sense of melodic direction, mood-setting harmonic destination points, and rhythmic intrigue and surprise throughout the journey. This imagination and sensibility has given the members of TRIPLICATE, Joel Shapira (electric guitars), Bruce "Pooch" Heine (acoustic & electric basses), and David Stanoch (trapset), the respect and appreciation of critics, disc-jockeys, promoters, and, most importantly, listeners of all ages who enjoy their recordings and are captivated by their live performances. The new release, on Rhythmelodic Records, entitled Day & Age explores further TRIPLICATE's "think globally, act locally" conception with ten new selections??five originals and five adaptations. Day & Age showcases the trio's traditional to modern American jazz, funk, and New Orleans musical influences weaving through Afro-Caribbean, Asian, Middle Eastern, and West-African aural landscapes to form a travelogue of instrumental stories.
