Hailed by Downbeat for their “deft analysis of choice repertoire,” and by the Chicago Reader for their “diversity of approaches to all kinds of source material,” the JOE POLICASTRO TRIO is a forward-thinking, Chicago-based jazz trio led by bassist Joe Policastro with guitarist Dave Miller and drummer Mikel Avery. While firmly rooted in jazz, the band’s open-minded, inclusive nature draws upon a wide array of musical styles and sources while still keeping the aesthetic of an acoustic trio intact. The trio joined us on tour in support of Sounds Unheard 2012-2022, a biographical collection of unreleased recordings spanning the life of the group.
From a November 3rd, 2022 performance it’s the Joe Policastro Trio – Live at the Bop Stop.
