about

The Iceland-based ASA Trio's first official release "Plays... Monk" is the culmination of a project that began unknowingly with the first tune the three ever played together, Bemsha Swing. For sentimental reasons that tune also opens the proceedings here.

about

ASA Trio Iceland

From Iceland, an organ trio. 3 musicians thrown together almost accidentally, and as luck would have it fit together perfectly. They play what most people would call jazz... but different.

I heard Oh play with Dave Douglas/Joe Lovano at a Wayne Shorter celebration concert in Montreal (2013?) several years ago and was very impressed, and I wasn't the only one, based on a few overheard conversations! Randomly thought to look her up. Great record, super talented musician! Mohan Thomas
