Fact Finding Mission (Trichotomy) 1 - Unnamed

 

Reviews:

4.5 Stars "A brilliant Trio of stellar originality." The Australian

4 Stars "Trichotomy show you don't need lyrics to paint musical pictures." Courier Mail

 

Trichotomy (the Trio formerly known as Misinterprotato*) featuring Piano (Sean Foran), bass (Patrick Marchisella) drums (John Parker) release their provoking new album, FACT FINDING MISSION.  

With a strong history as the trio Misinterprotato, the group have reinvented themselves as Trichotomy. They herald this significant step with FACT FINDING MISSION, a new album of original music, full of vitality and a sense of adventure that places Trichotomy at the forefront of modern creative jazz. 

Differing from their previous album, the Bell Award nominated The Gentle War, which focused on just the trio, Fact Finding Mission includes an impressive line-up of musician/improvisors including guitar maestro James Muller, percussionist Tunji Beier and Linsey Pollak on reeds. The ensemble, incorporating European and Indian folk elements, stretch their musical legs across a range of influences from classical music, rock and jazz but throughout the core trio most clearly sound like themselves, assured with their style and sound.

Fact Finding Mission is a blend of earthy rhythms, crisp melodies, flowing bass lines and the pure freedom of jazz make Trichotomy’s Fact Finding Mission a treasure hunt well worth joining.
