Artist History The trio formed in 1997, with Peter, Craig and a drummer (Shawn Meehan)with the goal of writing and performing new music and standards from the jazz repertoire that have been arranged to fit the trio's stylistic goals. After the first CD (Do That!) was cut, Shawn left the band to go on the road. The drum chair was then filledby Paul Marcantonio, one of the Boston area's best kept secrets.Paul has brought the trio to a new level of intensity and creativity.
