Dave Harrington, Jay Bellerose & Billy Mohler

Dave Harrington, Jay Bellerose & Billy Mohler is a trio of three players from quite different corners. Harrington is best known as half of Darkside, his project with Nicolas Jaar, whose albums Psychic and Spiral stretched electronic music around long, bluesy guitar lines. Away from that duo he works heavily in improvised settings. Bellerose is the drummer on Robert Plant and Alison Krauss's Raising Sand and on many Joe Henry records, with a dry, muffled, deliberately old-fashioned kit sound that shapes much of the music he plays on. Mohler, a Los Angeles bassist, moves between production work and jazz records under his own name.

Together they play loose, unhurried instrumental music built on long improvisations, where the rhythm section is free to drift as much as the guitar.
