TRIO LIFE is the new CD by Boling, Brown & Holloway. Release date was April 20, 2012.
Here is the story:
TRIO LIFE — Mark Boling, Keith Brown, and Rusty Holloway have played music together since the mid-1980s, soon after they began teaching jazz at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. In addition to various configurations of faculty ensembles, they have played together in the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra for over 10 years, backing a long list of jazz greats. They have played together in a variety of styles — New Orleans, blues, rock, funk, free, fusion, mainstream, and big band. They have worked regularly with musicians Donald Brown, Gregory Tardy, Zim Ngqawana, Bill Scarlett, Vance Thompson, Jack Coker, and Jerry Coker. This shared wealth of experience influences their ongoing musical conversation. Since 1997, the trio has had a home on Thursday nights at the Baker-Peters Jazz Club in Knoxville, allowing them the opportunity to develop their trio sound with consistent membership and regular gigs. During the Baker-Peters years they have honed a repertoire of original music and standards with roots in the sound of the great guitar trios led by Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell, Jim Hall, John Scofield and Pat Metheny.
