Refreshed super trio featuring versatile star players from New York.
Will Vinson alto saxophone, Gilad Hekselman guitar, Nate Wood drums
The members of Trio Grande 2.0 are all masters of their instruments. Still, the trio is more than the sum of its parts. For example, Will Vinson plays electronic keyboards alongside his trusted alto sax, while Gilad Hekselman has taken on both the guitar and bass parts. The well-received album Trio Grande was recorded with drummer Antonio Sánchez. In Trio Grande 2.0, both bass and drums are played by Nate Wood, who has previously performed here with Kneebody and Donny McCaslin. This fall the refreshed trio from New York will release a new album.
Originally from London, saxophonist Will Vinson is acclaimed for his virtuosity and his melodies, which have been compared to vocal lines. He has in fact collaborated with renowned singer-songwriters such as Rufus Wainwright and Sufjan Stevens, alongside major players in contemporary jazz. Gilad Hekselman is one of those guitar players who seduces you with a warm, clean tone, and will move you to the edge of your seat with breathtaking improvisations. He has established himself as one of the leading voices in jazz guitar.
