Coming together in 1969, The Trio featured JOHN SURMAN (baritone & soprano saxes, bass clarinet), BARRE PHILLIPS (bass) and STU MARTIN (drums). All three musicians had earned fine reputations for excellence in the Jazz world and had a desire to push musical boundaries in their work and had a desire to appeal to the emerging “progressive” music scene. Performing on bills with rock acts such as Captain Beefheart and Yes, The Trio signed to Pye Records’ newly formed progressive imprint, Dawn Records in 1970.
