Trichotomy's compelling, hugely dynamic trio music draws on the avant-rock of Radiohead, ECM minimalism and their love of improvisation, in an entrancing Australian echo of the European jazz innovations of the likes of EST or Tord Gustavsen. Modern, imaginative & thoroughly compelling, this is a group in total control of their sound world. 


BBC Music Magazine
"this is a genuine trio, with three equally important parts, and they never put a foot or finger wrong" 5 stars!

Jazzwise
"very ‘now'-sounding...beautifully poised"

The Guardian
"These three make the resources of the conventional piano trio go a long way."

The Evening Standard
"tuneful, scholarly approach to improvisation recalls the lyricism of EST and energy level of The Bad Plus...excellent"

"...fresh and exciting-and, yes, varied. Variations should be the album that propels Trichotomy to world-wide recognition"

VortexJazz.co.uk
“an absorbing performance from a band with an intriguingly original approach to music-making”

Sydney Morning Herald

The Age
“So many surprises and exquisite moments” 

The Courier Mail
"Variations, quite simply, is dazzling, building on the band's interests in improvisation, the avant- rock of later Radiohead and the minimalism often associated with European jazz label ECM."
