The Splatter Trio began after Dave Barrett (then a member of Club Foot Orchestra) saw a 1987 performance of John Zorn's Cobra Ensemble that included Myles Boisen and Gino Robair, and invited them to jam. (The concert also featured the Rova Saxophone Quartet, William Winant, David Slusser, and Chris Brown, among others.) The jamming went well, and the Splatter Trio was born. After a few years, the band's catalog included over 100 charts, many of which were memorized so that the players could explode the sections and superimpose or interject them into other pieces in concert. The result was real-time collage, in the tradition of Anthony Braxton and early Grateful Dead. So far, the band has released seven CDs, appeared on numerous compilations, and performed with a variety of special guests, including Myra Melford, Dan Plonsey, Steve Benson, Larry Polansky, Thomas Scandura, and Ken Vandermark.
