His approach to piano is very modern utilizing bitonality, dissonance, and extended harmonies. LoCascio has a thorough sense of harmony as well as rhythm and it is a pleasure to hear all three musicians work with such artistry.
Editorial review
The ghost of Vince Guaraldi looks benevolently over Joe LoCascio's In the City of Lost Things, a lovely little unpretentious piano trio album that showcases the leader's melodic side. The New York-born, Houston-based LoCascio tends toward an easygoing, tuneful soloing style here (witness the delightful opener, "The Bibliophile"), although he and his rhythm section are entirely unafraid of dissonance. See the middle section of "Sonia Braga," for example, where bassist John Adams unleashes a wild, nearly atonal bowed solo. Merely the latest in a long string of fine albums by the Joe LoCascio Trio (inventive but never showboating drummer Ed Soph is the third member), In the City of Lost Things features only original material and sticks primarily to a modern, explorative updating of West Coast cool. Fans of the Esbj?rn Svensson Trio will recognize a kindred spirit in LoCascio's blend of accessibility and experimentation. ~ Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
