LIVE PERFORMANCES
The selection of recordings that make up this volume is extracted from presentations that took place in different venues in Madrid between 2013 and 2017. The energy of the trio produced spectacular performances with the magic of what is known to be unique and unrepeatable. There was always the idea of a collective experience, including the audience, in which sound, rhythm, folkloric evocations coexist with talks, meals and drinks as in the case of memorable performances.
CON PLOMO Vol. Violeta por Tr3spuntocer0, es el cuarto y último de una serie de 4 que Koshkil Records agrega a su catálogo.
DIRECTOS
La selección de grabaciones que integran este volumen está extraída de presentaciones que tuvieron lugar en diferentes salas de Madrid entre 2013 y 2017. La energía del trío produjo actuaciones espectaculares con la magia de lo que se sabe único e irrepetible. Siempre estaba la idea de una experiencia colectiva, público incluido, en la que conviven el sonido, el ritmo, las evocaciones folklóricas, junto a las charlas, las comidas y las copas como en el caso de las actuaciones memorables en la sala Vaciador 34.

LINER NOTES
There is a widely held opinion (one I usually share) affirming that the trio is the ideal instrumental format. With only a few instruments, there’s room for individual expression, while still allowing for a range of timbral combinations and group interactions. It’s no coincidence that in jazz, trios of piano, double bass, and drums—or of organ, guitar, and drums—are so frequent. Or that in rock, the «power trio» of guitar, bass, and drums has become such a defining formation.
Somewhat less common, trios of saxophone, bass, and drums also have a rich history. Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, and Lee Konitz all explored this format; Steve Lacy, Albert Ayler, Ornette Coleman, Sam Rivers, and Marion Brown used it to venture into experimental territory; and excellent bands like Stone Alliance, The Trio, Back Door, or Morphine pushed along the paths of jazz fusion with funk, blues, and rock.
Tr3spuntocer0, this group of three friends and three great musicians, stands firmly within that tradition. Their repertoire includes mostly original compositions contributed by the three members: “La Lidia,” “El Vidalero,” and “La Murguita” by Marcelo; “Incertidumbre” and “Evocación de tu Nube” by Juan; and “Artesano” and “El Termo” by José—pieces steeped in Andean and Río de la Plata flavors. The well-known chamamé “Anahí” by Sosa Cordero is performed in the style of Gato Barbieri, one of Marcelo ‘s saxophone inspirations. The journey even leads to a version of “The Ocean”, the Led Zeppelin classic.
A diversity of influences without ever lapsing into pastiche. On the contrary: an artistic blend within an improvisational context, enhanced by the natural dynamics of the trio—where everything seeks balance between individual mastery and collective cohesion, between the prearranged and the spontaneous.
This double edition of CON PLOMO – Vol. Gris and Vol. Violeta (LEADED Vol. Grey and Vol. Violet) offers the chance to hear the trio both in the studio and live, allowing us to appreciate the full range of possibilities that emerge when we’re in the presence of musicians of this caliber.
