The trio of Paul Grabowsky (piano), Mirko Guerrini (tenor saxophone), Niko Schauble (drums) was born casually to perform at the Bernie McGann Benefit concert in late 2013. It was immediately clear that a special connection happened when these three musicians started to play together. So clear that, Gerry Koster (then on ABC Radio), decided to immediately record the band for his ABC program.

The Trio plays all original music composed by all three musicians. The main characteristic of this band is the amazing interplay that they reach during the performance. The compositions are a territory yet to be explored every night, and any direction one musician decides to take will be followed by the others. Niko Schauble is one of the most creative drummers in Australia, and has a long association with Paul Grabowsky (who has recent solo and sextet albums on ABC Jazz). Since moving to Melbourne, Italian saxophonist Guerrini has impressed with the depth and authority of his playing in a range of genres.

The imaginative work by Guerrini, Grabowsky and Schauble throughout the concert would have been a joy to behold (Ausjazz.net)
