3io  Michael’s approach to music created by his 3io is contemporary but not without it’s acknowledgments to what came before in this tradition.  You’ll hear compositions from the Beatles, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, James Taylor, Grateful Dead as well as originals and some name sake traditional artists from the jazz Genre. There’s no shortage of improvisation and these explorations are bound to leave you amazed.  This perhaps is the strongest suit of this trio is there ability to let go, stretch-out musical boundaries and not worry about where it is going.  It’s the edge they seek.  What is unique to their approach is that they leave bread crumbs of subtle sonic hints to keep the listener engaged; Fragments of the melody can be heard, melodies from other songs drift in and out. At times they just drop what they’re doing and do a complete 180 degree musical about face and forge a new composition.
