Their collective project, informally dubbed “The Trio”, began in 2012 when Rio Sakairi from the Jazz Gallery called upon these three acclaimed musicians to participate in a fundraiser. Despite their preexisting musical ties, they all felt a unique spark in the mysterious flow of this musical encounter. They have steadily developed the project over the ensuing years, each musician serving as a composer and creative soloist, bringing each of their distinct backgrounds and strong personalities into the group dynamic.\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir shared composer orientation gives the ensemble a special, continually evolving quality.
