Cento Threeo

Cento Threeo is an instrumental guitar trio that lives somewhere between straight-ahead jazz and a midwestern sunset after a thunderstorm. Conversational improvisation that ebbs and flows and gives and takes.

“Carefully crafted, whimsically relaxed, and somehow both raw and smooth, the record almost casually checks boxes for both melody and spontaneity.”Austin Chronicle
“The latest offering of his trio impresses with meaningfully simple melodies imbued with subtle swing and a band sound tailor-made for a Coen Brothers flick.”Jazz Journal
“Ceaseless interaction and expressiveness from all three as they put their personalities into the whole.”The Vinyl District
