Impact by U.S.E. Trio
"Impact" is U.S.E. Trio's third release. During winter of 2019, the band founded a live music series at the Maas Building in Philadelphia called the "Creative Concepts in Jazz Series" whereupon they workshopped an ever-growing repertory of music in front of a live audience. The compositions on this album were recorded in February 2020, just before the one year anniversary of the series, which was abruptly canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In retrospect, the title, "Impact", resonates more deeply given the times.

Saxophonist Andrew Urbina, drummer Matt Scarano, and bassist Sandy Eldred crossed paths while working as side-men on the Philadelphia jazz scene and discovered an instant chemistry the first time they played together.
Deciding to defy jazz conventions, where soloists usually take the spotlight, Urbina, Scarano, and Eldred formed their own band and developed a strong camaraderie.
