The Pocket Trio are a feel-good jazz ensemble with a focus on tight arrangements and groovy pockets.

Together they swing with an incredible sense of energy and rhythm, guaranteed to provoke smiles, foot-tapping and good times. They love to re-perform complex and exciting arrangements transcribed from recordings of other classic jazz trios from the Jazz canon, namely those led by Oscar Peterson, Bill Charlap, Christian McBride and Ahmad Jamal.

You can hear the trio play every Tuesday night at Moya’s Juniper Lounge in Redfern.
