TRIO by Pat Leary

This album came to fruition one late summer afternoon around Aug 2022 in Alex's apartment above a Glitz carwash. We had originally set out to record some demos for booking purposes but what arose from the recordings was a musical conversion that I felt was very unique to us as players and a testament to the presence and contribution of each individual involved. So I decided to mix/master the recordings and put them out as a TRIO album. Infinite gratitude for Alex Santilli and Jeff Wheaton communing and exploring alongside me. I hope for the music to speak for itself as well as convey a sense of being in the room with us creating and conversing.

Many thank you's to Steve Marek for the exceptional mastering work, Carson White for the cover photo and Ben Giska for cover design help.

"The trio’s sound is an intriguing mix of cocktail-bar sophistication and drifting, moody jazz fusion, and it would’ve fit in fine on the Blue Note roster in the late 60s." - J.R Nelson and Leor Galil via Chicago Reader
