The jazz trio Mélange À Trois play Best Video Performance Space on Wednesday, Jan. 18. The show begins at 8 PM and there is a $5 cover.
Mélange À Trois is a brand spankin’ new trio that takes a Po-Mo approach to Jazz Standards, TV theme songs and classic commercials. With MÀT you never know if, in the middle of “All of Me,” you’re going to crash into a Sondheim reference, an unrelated waltz, two seconds of a barrelhouse blues, a squeak-fart modernist touch, a soundtrack moment—even a moment of contemplation.
Cristina Harris is fabulous singer-songwriter who is well known in town for her intense, personal and thoughtful songs about real life shit that peeps tend to get a little squeegee about sometimes.
Mark Kuss has played with Branford Marsalis, Nnenna Freelon, Michiel Borstslap and a bunch of other pretty well known “cats.” He’s CEO of unison-design, a music software company.
Jesse Raccio is a composer, thinker, software designer, traveller and, oh, a snap-ass bass player. He’s a “playa” at the Grove—a hothouse startup engine in New Haven—and CTO of unison-design.
