About Trio of Bloom
Trio of Bloom brings together three players from different corners of American improvised music. Nels Cline is best known to rock audiences as the lead guitarist in Wilco, but he has a long parallel career in free improvisation and noise. Craig Taborn has recorded widely as a pianist, including solo and trio work for ECM, and he also works with synthesizers and electronics. Marcus Gilmore, grandson of the drummer Roy Haynes, has played with Chick Corea and Vijay Iyer.
The group's music leans toward the electric and textural end of jazz, with Cline's effects-laden guitar and Taborn's keyboards trading the foreground over Gilmore's loose, detailed drumming. The trio released a self-titled album in 2025.
