I met Joey and Mark back when i first moved to New York and and got to play with them when we were in the rhythm sections of various groups .From the moment we started playing together we felt an instant connection. I am looking forward to playing with Mark and Joey as a trio because playing together with them is always a blast! We will be playing a combination of new original music, standards and free improvisations.


Critics-

„As a jazz musician, Mr. Caine thrives on the practice of inspired variation." -- New York Times"

„Caine spreads out a tableau that includes cubist abstraction, syncopated blues, lyrical drama, touches of soul jazz and gospel, and generous helping of swinging hard bop energy.It’s brash, consistently appealing and profoundly stimulating“.-All about jazz

„Caine in his trio incarnation is an unmannered conduit between swing, groove, fusion and free-improvisation.“-Guardian

„Uri Caine’s voracious intellect and lightning-fast reflexes have taken him all over the musical map, from polyglot classical extrapolations to klezmer and on to funk.Whether he’s paying tribute to Monk, refracting Bach and Mahler through a postmodern prism or simply riding hard on a funky groove, keyboard conceptualist Caine is among this city’s most consistently satisfying eclectics. A piano trio may seem like a conventional setup, but not the way Caine imagines it“.-Time out NY

„In the hands of a trio like this, we set off an unpredictable journey, and the introduction served as a reminder that the live experience is something different, unique, not- to-be-repeated. And special. We are a long way from head-solos-head here, and into something much more organic and intuitive and, perhaps above all, free.“-London jazz review

„When Caine uses musical free association, rhythmic trickery, and group interplay, either separately or in combination, he puts his own mark on this format.“ AllaboutJazz-

„Caine and company imbue every tune with an extraordinary blues feeling and a fat swing groove. But this is not just another straight-ahead piano trio outing. Caine gives the form a shot in the arm with these sophisticated compositions, all of which contain a bevy of surprises.“ AllMusic

„A freely-flowing, highly-rhythmic approach to his music. The set bristles with energy right from the start – a joyous bouncing trio in which every player is given equal weight, not just the pianist at the top.“-Dusty Grove

„The trio seamlessly switched from one style to another, classical swing, bop virtuoso, greasy New Orleans street music, impressionistic musings, funk, pop ... The smoothness of style that has changed within a song, the lightning-fast transitions - often within seconds - without drastic rupture and create the flawless coordination in the stage left no room for an eclectic muddle game. There is no bite-style exercises, but a full integration of styles.“ Kwadratur
