DROP TRIO DROP TOUR DATES

Now, generally we don’t cover the jazz scene in our fair city. This is not because we are ignorant of the ones and threes of this particular art form – far from it. Not only did we receive very high marks in the Jazz Appreciation coursework that we took together during our time at the University of Texas in Austin (seriously) and we know the intense aphrodesiatic power of The Gentle Side of John Coltrane. Heck, like jazz great Woody Allen, we once played the clarinet, and pretty much only still have a Walkman so that we can listen to this one particular Chet Baker tape that we haven’t ever found anywhere else (in this day and age, all other Tape Deckage has long since been broken).

That being said, we have always kind of dug on the stuff that locals Drop Trio do whenever we catch them here or there. And, it being a slow news week for us, we though we’d take a moment to step outside our comfort zone and let you know that our decidedly un-Weather Reportesque Houstonians are on somewhat of a tear of a tour through the Southwest and the West coast. Peep the complete schedule here, and be prepared to read about such diverse locations as Lubbock, Mesa, Seattle and Oakland. Drop Trio also has been working on another album which is due out this fall and, presumably, should help propel them to a five-peat in terms of their winning Houston Press Music Awards. Peep a preview track below.
