TrioGram Description PDF
BASSIST MAGAZINE WRITE-UP
After many years of friendship and musical collaboration, bassist Will Lyle and pianist Bijan Taghavi united to create a jazz piano trio project for the age of information: TrioGram.
Their “effortlessly swinging rapport” (Bass Magazine) can be heard on their debut album, "TrioGram", alongside drummer Kofi Shepsu which they recorded in August 2022 at Trading 8s Recording Studios (Paramus, NJ).
TrioGram toured Mexico & Southwest USA as part of their February 2023 Pre-Record Release Tour; performances included Jazzatlan (Mexico City), Barbara Morrison Performing Arts Center (Los Angeles, CA), The Ravenscroft JazzBird Lounge (Scottsdale, AZ) and featured special guest drummers Joe LaBarbera, Mark Ferber and Lewis Nash.
"TrioGram" will be released at their CD Release Show, Friday 4/7/23 at Ornithology Jazz Club (Brooklyn, NY) and will subsequently be available on Spotify, Apple Music and all streaming platforms. The group aims to maintain a cutting edge sensibility combined with a respect for the many eras of jazz as they offer “poetic, swinging originals & incisive takes on cover arrangements" (Bass Magazine). They are equally influenced by the swinging piano trios of the bebop period, impressionistic styles, classical music, Afro-Cuban rhythms and hip hop. As sidemen, they have worked with such jazz legends as Dave Kikoski, Rodney Whitaker, Carl Allen, Ralph Peterson, Dick Oatts, Ralph Moore, Bill Cunliffe and Roy McCurdy.
