Largemouth Trio
Neil Shah ~ Piano
Erik Dutko ~ Guitar
"I planned on continuing with the beautiful and chromatic ballads concept that I arrived at with Erik." Charles explains. "This is directly coming out of Liebman's soprano music he explored with Richie Beirach. Its a whole new and rich harmonic world; there is much work to be done personally and I need to stay very high on the horn in this dissonant context. Erik is literally the most honest and beautiful guitarist I know, his ears and harmonic knowledge are downright scary and at times intimidating. Neil totally figured it out; he can play any type of virtuosic jazz piano, but has chosen to instead truly follow himself and sing his life experiences with passion. These guys also know the language of Charle, so the lyrics may make little sense and be humorous, but the serious intent will remain."
Look, this band doesn't even exist yet, so what more is there to say?
