Heart Music by George Crotty Trio

The George Crotty Trio (GC3) makes multicultural chamber music that is both cinematic and conversational. Their new album, “Heart Music”, is a transatlantic travelogue of creative encounters in Copenhagen, Delft, Berlin, Toronto, and Brooklyn. Inspired by the European jazz scene, Hindustani raga, and contemporary chamber music, Crotty’s compositions are further illuminated by John Murchison (bass) & Jeremy Smith (percussion).

The GC3 has performed at the 21C Festival, Small World Music Festival, Copenhagen Vinterjazz Festival, and the New Directions Cello Festival. They have toured internationally in cities such as Toronto, Montreal, New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Bogota, Sao Paolo, London, Berlin, Antwerp, and Copenhagen.
