Listening Lyrics

THE TRIO

This Jazz trio (The Trio) comprises 3 young musicians with a very mature sound. What a treat to have not only very talented performers in the tiny KDRT studio but 3 very articulate ones at that. Listen in and hear their story and dreams. Listen now.

"The Trio" comprises of Neil Heaton, Isaac Bunch and Chris Hunt. All three are Davis High graduates.

Truly a remarkable and mesmerizing hour with Michael and his ability to verbally paint a story.  Michael Ellis was first acknowledged as a poet when he was 17.He was published twice before he reached 19. He was immediately compared to Harlem Renaissance poet, Langston Hughes, a measure he neither embraced or denied. Stil his ability to write in Southern dialect at a young age quickly garnered attention from the University of Puget Sound where he pursued English and Journalism.

Chris Clark was our call in guest this week. We will be playing tracks from his new CD "CEDAR WISELY"

Jazz runs through the veins of this musician, which really shows when he is playing a saxaphone or behind a piano. Chris grew up in Davis, developing his talent in Davis High. he went on to earn his B.M. in Jazz Studies from the University of Oregon and his M.M. in Jazz and Improvisational Music from the University of Nevada, Reno. Currently he resides in Boston and performs on the east coast. Listen in for an in depth interview along with playing a few tracks from his CD and some music that has influenced him.
