About Hannes De Kassian Trio “3”

Released in 2009, the aptly named “3 “ is Hannes De Kassian’s third CD, and his second foray into a trio. Featuring Gene Torres on bass and Joris Dudli on drums, the self-produced album is a product of De Kassian’s sharpened vision - a fusion of his European roots with funk-infused jazz.

That fusion is present in the album’s opening track, “125 Jive.” De Kassian’s guitar weaves masterfully with Torres’s bottom-heavy bass. Dudli punctuates the music propulsively, pushing the action, a heady dose of jazz and funk. “I live in Harlem,” De Kassian explains, “and I wanted ‘125 Jive’ to have that kind of energy and buzz.”

“Undercurrent” has an off beat sensibility – ethereal in tone, the song shows De Kassian’s comfort in playing with more open forms. “It’s not your regular spin of eight bars to a melody,” De Kassian says. “It’s more like painting a soundscape.”

For De Kassian, music has always been a search for something more. “The thing about music,” he declares, “is that it’s more a life philosophy than anything else. Some are lucky enough to make a living off of it. But usually, the reward lies in making the music and getting deeper into it.” Hannes De Kassian Trio’s “3” is the sound of that philosophy; rewarding for the skill, heart and spirit with which it has been conceived and recorded, and continually fulfilling for those willing to get deeper into its grooves.
