Knox Presents: The Phil Dwyer Trio

Forged on the streets of Brooklyn and honed through decades of touring andrecording together in North America and Europe, the musical relationshipbetween drummer Alan Jones and multi-instrumentalist Phil Dwyer is one of themost exciting and dynamic in contemporary jazz.

Rounded out by rising star bassist (and Phil’s son) Ben Dwyer, thisintergenerational trio merges decades of jazz tradition with fearless modernexpression. Phil’s commanding tenor voice and explorative piano work blend seamlessly with Alan’s roots in post-bop and avant-garde jazz and Ben’s deepgroove and youthful insight.

Audiences can expect fresh treatment of familiar standards, inventive original compositions, and rich dialogue, layered with emotional depth and musical empathy.
