About Craig Taborn Trio
The Craig Taborn Trio is the piano trio setting of Craig Taborn, a pianist and keyboardist raised in Minnesota who came up in Detroit's jazz and electronic scenes. Alongside his jazz work he played in Carl Craig's Innerzone Orchestra and has long used synthesizers and electronics, and he has worked with Roscoe Mitchell, Dave Holland and Chris Potter's Underground.
His trio records include 'Light Made Lighter' on Thirsty Ear and 'Chants' on ECM, the latter made with bassist Thomas Morgan and drummer Gerald Cleaver. The trio music is built on close three-way interplay: composed figures loosen into improvisation, and the rhythm section often shadows the piano's right and left hands rather than simply keeping time.
