  • PROJECT Trio CD
    Project Trio- Instrumental CD Review By Daniel Hautzinger It’s not easy to be unique. In music especially, it seems like every good band name has already been taken, every genre tried (witch house anyone?), and every ensemble “sound” already stamped by someone else. Even so, I don’t know of another group like PROJECT Trio, which consists of a cellist, double bassist, and beat-boxing flutist, all classically trained, who play jazz, classical, Latin, and a combination of those and other genres. But idiosyncratic instrumentation and style don’t remove an artist from other influences. Instrumental, PROJECT Trio’s latest recording for their label Harmonyville Records, contains buoyant and groove-based songs that often seem to reference other artists or genres, but played on flute, cello, and bass. Despite the hodgepodge of styles on Instrumental, many of the tracks share a pleasing effervescence. It’s easy to imagine many of these songs soundtracking Sesame Street, with their sunniness, playfulness and unpretentious pleasure. The best instance of this is Now, which has the catchiest groove and cello lines from Eric Stephenson that recall Yo- Yo Ma’s Goat Rodeo Sessions. 99 Mondays is a refreshing, atmospheric track built off Greg Pattillo’s overlapping flute curlicues and Peter Seymour’s resounding bass notes that calls to mind the classical pieces of Bryce Dessner or Richard Reed Parry. 2against3, with its painfully obvious title, uses the eponymous cross-rhythm as accompaniment for a simple and tender melody. It’s also an instance of one of this recording’s weaknesses: many of the songs are disjunct, with middle sections that sound like a new song reliably appearing halfway through many of the tracks.

Arts Midwest is working with the state arts agencies in its nine-state region to distribute CARES Act funds as quickly and as equitably as possible across the Midwest. One important feature of the plan is that it reduces application and reporting burdens by enabling organizations to access all funding available to them through a single application and award process administered by their state. “Now more than ever the creative sector plays a critical role in our nation’s recovery and resilience,” shares Torrie Allen, President & CEO of Arts Midwest. “Arts and culture are essential to our collective wellbeing, our connections with one another, and how we will recover from this unprecedented challenge. We are honored to partner with our colleagues at the federal and state level to play a role in preserving these important jobs and helping arts and cultural organizations persevere.” Arts organizations can contact their state arts agency for more information on how this CARES Act funding is being distributed.
