New Zion Trio

New Zion Trio describe their sound as “Forwards Roots Reggae matches Spiritual Jazz, Spirit, and Doom Dub.” It’s accurate. While jazz using its syncopation and expansive harmonics contrasts sharply with dub reggae’s set, hypnotic, rhythm-heavy grooves, New Zion Trio show they aren’t mutually unique; these celebrated veterans extend the guidelines of both within their extremely original audio. Founded in NY this year 2010, the group’s initial staff included Jamie Saft on piano and Fender Rhodes, drummer Craig Santiago, and acoustic bassist Larry Grenadier. All incredibly busy people, they honed their audio in NY clubs every time they could get collectively. Their documented debut, FIGHT Babylon, was released by Veal Information in 2011 to regularly reviews that are positive. One monitor, “Listen to I Jah,” was included on Grooveman Spot’s compilation Mellow Groove Vibes in 2013. Grenadier remaining in 2012 and was changed by bassist Brad Jones, a bandleader in his personal correct, but who spent some time working with everyone from Ornette Coleman to Jazz Travellers to Don Byron. This group released Chaliwa in 2013. International crucial acclaim greeted the discharge and one monitor, “Ina Sade Dub,” was remixed by maker Christian Castagno for Don Letts Presents: Dread Matches Yasushi Ide – In the Get of the Increasing Dub. It had been accompanied by intermittent live times — every time they could find period from their busy specific schedules — over another year or two. From 2014, Saft began an ongoing romantic relationship with RareNoise Information that led to Sunshine Seas, another New Zion Trio recording. A co-led day with Brazilian percussionist Cyro Baptista, it had been released in the springtime of 2016.
