“El Trio is a dream threesome of some of my favorite musicians, who have been in my various bands: Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernández, one of the most versatile and in-demand drummers in the history of Cuban music and jazz; José Armando Gola, bassist, who can adapt to any style; and John Beasley, a genius pianist, keyboardist, orchestrator, innovator, whose imagination takes me to another galaxy. He wrote part of the arrangements for my work "La Creacaión, which made me so happy.

So, when I heard Negro, Gola and Beasley formed this trio band, I knew it was going to be an ace trinity of incredible improvisational creativity. They each have such a level of imagination, great interplay, and natural talent. El Trio's sound is organic, contemporary, and supernova. Take a deep listen and see where it takes you.”  - Chucho Valdés

As a total package this El Trio yields Latin fusion on a foundation of solid jazz rock, a fiesta of smooth fluency.”    RD
