Bio
.. .. .. .. .. .. ....With a style that organically blends Jazz to Rock to Funk, and Pop to Brazilian to Latin music, The Dig Trio has been keeping audiences astounded ever since their first performance in February/2000. Brazilian natives Gustavo Assis Brasil (guitar) and Mauricio Zottarelli (drums) met with New-Yorker David Pinto (bass) at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, where they were all studying at the time. The group rapidly developed into a cohesive and impressive power trio, mixing influences coming from several different musical styles to their masterfully written melodies and harmonies, all combined into a deep and profound groove. The result? Something simultaneously modern, unique, and sophisticated. The Dig Trio plays frequently in the New England area, and has been receiving high praises from both audiences and critics/experts alike. "Dig Trio" (2003) is the group's first studio CD, and reflects its incredible versatility and musicality. The album features twelve original compositions, showcasing the trio at its best. In the Summer of 2003, the Dig Trio welcomed its newest member, virtuoso bassist, composer and producer Michael Farquharson, who hails from Canada. .... In its short period of existence, the Dig Trio is already one of the most respected and admired acts in the contemporary jazz scene. See it and hear it for yourself!! ..

.... "Gustavo Assis Brasil on guitar, Mauricio Zottarelli on drums and David Pinto on bass from Berklee College of music have taken their learning process to the next step and have create a unique blend of jazz, funk, fusion, samba and everything else. The playing is absolutely brilliant with rhythmic touches of Wayne Krantz blended with very stunning compostions. The compostions are eclectic with very mature musical ideas. The three musicians play to each other pushing the musical barriers that has no real categorization. A lot of music lovers are going to hear about these guys in the near future. Check out their debut album. It is stunning. One of the best new recordings we have heard this year.".. .... www.abstractlogix.com - 2003.... _____________________________________ .. .. "I was very impressed with this album. This CD has a great mix of tunes from Fusion to Brazilian latin to tasty brush playing. The sound recording was also very nicely produced. Very Cool CD!" .... George Shepherd - Drum ProJazz Magazine.... ____________________________________ .... " What impressed me right from the first listen was the way the 3 of them play together, blending with a level of sensitivity and group dynamic often lacking in bands with such highly skilled individuals." ....Chris Aranosian - www.GodsofMusic.com - 2003.... ____________________________________ .... "Who is this Dig Trio that I speak of? How could I have the nerve to relate them to jazz greats like Hancock and Corea? It wouldnt be fair to clump them in a group with other musicians because that would hide Dig Trios uniqueness. In fact, I can safely say that during these times of famous album reissues and old jazz greats packing in small NYC clubs lies an original band, Dig Trio. Blending jazz, funk, rock, and Latin with a hint of Brazilian into their compositions, Dig Trio unleashes improvisations into their progressive sound with ease." ....Alec DeSocio - CdReviews.com - read the review.... ____________________________________ .... "An outstanding blend of Brazilian, Jazz Rock and experimental music. Essencial for fans of contemporary fusion!!" ....Guitar Player Magazine.... ____________________________________ .... Feast your ears! The Dig Trio offers up a truly special blend of jazz rock fusion music. Their musical explorations into funk, samba, and swing, to name a few, show a deep respect for their musical roots while pushing the envelope full speed ahead in a modern direction. These are three superb musicians worth checking out! ....Rod Morgenstein, legendary drummer.... ____________________________________ .... "Great CD! Strong grooves, beautiful compositions, and masterful improvisations fusing a wide range of elements including Rock, Funk, Latin, and Contemporary Jazz. A must for those interested in progressive and lyrical instrumental music. An impressive display of power and versatility from three very talented musicians." .... Bret Willmott, guitar great, Berklee College of Music ....
