No other jazz ensemble today produces music so cinematic or fully experiential as Robin Eubanks' electrically charged trio, EB3.
All three members of the EB3 collective share a love jazz, funk, and rock, not to mention a musical fluency in odd meters. Additionally, the trio follows one guiding principle whereby all members must fulfill roles ordinarily handled by two or more musicians.
Robin Eubanks + EB3: The result is that 1+1+1= 4 and more.

Winter Solstice is the longest night of the year. It is the time of year to go deep within to renew and regenerate your energy. It is a time of rebirth, a time to plant seeds for the future and to set intentions for the next cycle as we return to light.
As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.
Wishing you positive energy to move into the light.
Christmas wish with the same words may be outdated and trivial in a world, still beautiful, but where everything goes fast-paced enough to make us forget who we are ... It's a good reason to stay, hope not only to others but to themselves, much serenity and contentment to be more fortunate.
