New CD SPIRITRIO: EPISODE I is available on iTunes and Amazon."Spiritrio is
Anthony Wonsey, Dmitri Kolesnik, and Brandon Lewis’ brand new and
successful take on the piano trio format. While never straying too far
from popular jazz forms, the group has bold compositional ideas and
feels constantly fresh thanks to its energy, interactivity, and
tasteful use of an exceptionally high technical skill set. Wonsey’s
piano playing is thoughtful and mature, and it covers a lot of ground,
from fast-paced aggressive riffs and vamps, to slower, often beautiful
melodic runs. Lewis’ drumming is absolutely nonstop, swinging hard and
fast with busy, yet tasteful snare work and on-the-spot flexibility that
is engaging without distracting. Kolesnik’s bass rounds out the
group’s sound with wonderful solos and a foundation that is both
versatile and rock-solid, ensuring that they are limited by neither
speed nor style. This group truly features each player at the top of his game. (JAZZ AT LINCOLN CENTER)
