Combining nu-jazz style with hip hop attitude, the 21st Century Trio performs original music with a modern line-up of musicians. From the booming beats and dope cuts of the turntable combined with the lush sound of the touch guitar, the two weave a solid rhythm section. Add the third dimension of live drums, and together they rock the house!
But it doesn't stop there! By adding thought provoking rhymes, or guitar, they bend the notion of a trio's potential; seamlessly moving between many styles of music. Together they explore the possibilities of future music with an open mind.
Whether its nu-jazz, rock, or hip hop, together they're redefining the modern trio.

Re: Word of the Week
WORD OF THE WEEK (4/4-4/15) IS: "GROOVE"
1. An adjective describing a rhythmic quality of music that is emotionally communicative and soulful; used for music moving at a steady beat. "I am feelin' this groove!"
2. A verb meaning to smoothly interact, maintain or improve relations with a person, or a situation.
*Not to be confused with "Groovy" which was a previous word of the week - two totally different words.
Have a great week! Happy Easter - Jake Glasgow (Mister G)
You guys did a GREAT job last night...it was a pleasure to be a small part of what you guys brought to the show. Definitely looking forward to sharing the stage with you again...
Just to let you know that we've got some new reviews and interviews up on the site so be sure to come check them out. The forums are really busy too so why not join in?
So what! The Trio may be more classy, tasty, rehearsed, and generally gooder, but I betya I see more boobies. Turn to the dark side. Become a central PA cover band or die.
