Biography:
Trio Globo has crafted a totally original voice in contemporary acoustic jazz. With roots in jazz, classical and sacred music, rhythmic influences derived from travels in six continents and a combustible spontaneity, cellist Eugene Friesen, pianist and master harmonica player Howard Levy and percussionist Glen Velez epitomize the quintessential group for the '90's - true originals re-inventing their instruments in new music both personal and global. Trio Globo
Improvisation provides the impetus for music of Trio Globo's music, a spark which combines with the trio's musical diversity to ignite their live performances. Howard Levy, widely known from his work with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, is a fluent jazz pianist who doubles on harmonica, playing it with a fresh inventiveness and intense virtuosity that earns him ovations wherever he plays. Eugene Friesen, the Grammy award-winning cellist from the Paul Winter Consort, plays cello like a bass one moment and a driving rhythm instrument the next, often doubling melodies with his voice for a haunting visceral effect. Grammy award-winner Glen Velez exudes absolute mastery on a wide variety of exotic percussion instruments, from frame drums of many cultures to the Australian bullroar, the Caribbean steel pan and buzz sticks from the Philippines.
