Local jazz group Art D’Echo Trio played a 90 minute set at Jay Square in Schenectady on Thursday, July 17.
Art D’Echo’s style provided interesting contrapuntals and other interesting arrangements in their mix of originals and covers in a jazz trio format. Musicians David Gleason (piano), Michael Lawrence, (bass) and Pete Sweeney (drums) are all music educators and provided extra enrichment by telling stories regarding the background and inspiration of the tunes.
The mixture of straight ahead jazz and Latin tunes was appropriate for the hot, humid outdoor backdrop of Jay Square.
Featured were tunes included in their self titled latest release. This was recorded and mastered at Scott Petito’s NRS studio in Catskill.
Setlist: Shoe Stop Blues, Tricotism, La Casa DiSiderno, If I Were A Bell (Frank Loesser via Oscar Peterson), Moon & Sand, Soul Station (Hank Mobley), Mayan Baroque, Bitter Suite, Whisper Not, James, Oh Please
