The trio of Mat Maneri (viola), Lucian Ban (piano), and Denver Butson (poetry/voice), which may or may not be called The Trio of Dissolving, has been listening to each other and improvising for several years. Twisting the old formula of poetry and jazz, in which the poet is accompanied or backed by the musicians, this trio interacts as three improvising parts, building on almost twenty years of Maneri's duo work with Ban and with Butson, separately. What happens is often surprising-- atmospheric, moody, and transporting.

Trio Nu is a collaborative group led by Noa Fort (voice) along the incredible Mat Maneri (viola) and Lucian Ban (piano). In a space created by deep listening, presence and willingness to go anywhere together, the group develops a new language, moving seamlessly between written and improvised moments.
