In the vein of great piano trios like those of Jeff Hamilton and Monty Alexander, the John Wood Trio performs well-arranged traditional jazz repertoire with high energy, strong interaction, and swinging priorities. Led by drummer John Wood from Houston, Texas, the trio, featuring Greg Feingold on upright bass and Grant Richards on piano, has performed regularly in the Boston area for the past three years, developing a tight-knit sound and versatility stemming from hundreds of performances together. In their recent studio sessions at PBS Studios in Westwood, MA, the trio put together a collection of several tracks encompassing their energetic style, including classic standards like “Tea For Two” and “Isn’t It Romantic?” as well as beautiful, understated ballads like “We’ll Be Together Again” and “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.” Introducing John Wood is an album that by virtue of its sheer swinging intention can appeal to both the avid jazz fan and the casual listener, so visit the link below to order your copy now!
