We 3, Classic piano trio jazz

Coming together under unusual circumstances, the members of piano trio We 3 found a

common thread in their mutual appreciation for pianist Phineas Newborn. They quickly decided

to add Newborn’s entire 1958 album We Three to their repertoire, a classic piano trio record

that features Roy Haynes and Paul Chambers. Since then, Josh Smiley on piano, Bennett Young

on bass and Ilios Steryannis on drums have added other composers to their playlist, including

Ornette Coleman, Bud Powell, and Thelonious Monk.
