Bio / Background
ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE
Chopslaughter was formed in 2003 with the intention of providing a distinct, seldom-heard trio persona, taking the liberty to eliminate the traditional role of drumset in the jazz ensemble. What has come to be is a sound of unparalleled beauty, as the trio explores individual repertoire from within, as well as creative possibilities from the classical and popular repertoire.
Using Mahler, Copland and Bach as inspiration for a portion of their material, the trio addresses the classical forum with care as they use melodies and chords from the composers, then contribute a unique thumbprint through improvisation and formal structure.
Popular music also serves as inspiration for the group, with such diverse influences as The Who, Sigur Rós, and Andrew Lloyd Webber providing material on this release. The ensemble here again maintains the music’s spirit, while adding fresh and innovative ideas to spur the music forward.
