The Jason White Trio makes a return engagement at the Jazz Room after spending most of the last year touring outside of the country. With out a doubt, the expression “something for everyone” applies to a Jason White Trio concert. In its third incarnation, consisting of Jason White (piano), Paul VanDyk (bass), and Joe Ryan (drums), the trio has found an exciting, intuitive dynamic. They draw extensively on jazz, avant garde and progressive rock, minimalism, and even Friedrich Nietzsche to engage audiences on sometimes delicately cerebral, sometimes frenetically visceral romps across genres. In their music, there is something fans of almost any genre can ponder and pulsate over.Their originals defy convention, and their covers of The Bad Plus, Frank Zappa, and The Isley Brothers, to name a few, are truly inspired.
