We’re very happy to announce the second album from Trio Grande – Will Vinson, Gilad Hekselman and Nate Wood – Urban Myth, which will be released November 3 2023

Much has changed since the Trio’s first release in 2020, not least for the band itself: prodigious multi-instrumentalist Nate Wood now joins the indefatigably creative partnership forged in New York City by Gilad Hekselman and Will Vinson. The foundational triumvirate of drums, guitar and alto saxophone remains: and even though each member is rated among the most individual and influential practitioners of their own instrument, the unmistakable enduring character of Trio Grande incorporates them all into its own unique identity, continuing to grow and develop at its own pace, to create new possibilities of form and texture, composition and improvisation. The results can be heard on the new release, Urban Myth: a powerful, diverse but unified set of recordings that combines elements of jazz with pop accessibility and the directness and honesty of folk – “No science project music on this record.” – and delivers a new surprise at every turn.

The album will be available on in CD / DL and two special LP formats – with touring news to come soon…
