FAB TRIO
JOE FONDA BARRY ALTSCHUL BILLY BANG
Bass Drums Violin

Manhattan-based bassist JOE FONDA assembled this unconventional trio on an uncanny hunch that the combination of sonorities and musical personalities would be a compelling one. Following the FAB Trio's release of 'Transforming the Space' (CIMP), the group has been performing in festivals and tours for over eight years, and continues to explore the dynamics within their particular lineup. Drummer, BARRY ALTSCHUL is a crucial figure in contemporary jazz since the early 1970's, and has contributed his sensitive accompaniment to projects by Dave Holland, Chick Corea and Anthony Braxton, to name a few, in addition to his own projects. BILLY BANG is one of the great violinists in the history of jazz, a name that can be put alongside Joe Venuti, Stuff Smith and Leroy Jenkins in the annals of the music. He has collaborated widely, as well as leading his own projects including the widely-praised recording 'Vietnam: The Aftermath' a powerfully evocative reflection of his involvement in the Vietnam War. THE FAB TRIO encompasses some of the great maverick spirits from the recent history of jazz and American improvised music.
