biographical info
Aeroplane Trio use a conventional acoustic jazz setting
as a platform for their improvisations and compositions. Twisting and
contorting their instruments, nothing is sacred in creating the trio's
unique sound. JP Carter (trumpet/cornet), Russell
Sholberg (bass/saw) and Skye Brooks (drums/percussion)
have found a common sensibility; they make music both delicate and combustible,
strange and beautiful.
The
Aeroplane Trio was formed in 2001 out of the late night "Aeroplane"
improvisation sessions at the Sugar Refinery in Vancouver during a time
of great experimental music activity on the West Coast music scene. Each
member of the Aeroplane Trio has been championing original creative music
for more than a decade, both as leaders and as sidemen. Some of the other
groups that they also perform with include the Tony Wilson 6tet, Inhabitants,
Fond of Tigers, and the NOW Orchestra. The Aeroplane Trio is a link, even
a cornerstone in some instances, to Vancouver’s creative music community.
Naranja Ha is the first commercial release by the Aeroplane
Trio, and represents over eight years of music making. The double-disc
package contains the CD "Naranja Ha", a full-length studio recording
that documents the trio's diverse blend of original composition and free
improvisation. In addition, there's also a DVD featuring a full-length
concert video,"Live at Ironworks", and a mini-documentary, "Getting
to Naranja Ha", detailing the Aeroplane Trio's creative process through
interviews, as well as concert, rehearsal and studio footage.
