The Dan Cray Trio is unique in that it relies on a collaborative effort rather than the singular vision that is more typically found in a piano trio. This in turn has allowed the group to rise above the pick-up band mentality that has come to dominate the jazz landscape. Because each musician is equally invested in the development of the music, the Trio is able to match the intensity and clarity of purpose that define the best jazz artists. Their innovative arrangements and group dynamic have led Cadence Magazine to rate them “as interesting, if not more, than the celebrated Bad Plus. ” The Trio’s music has been featured on the hit television show “Gossip Girl,” Michael Keaton’s new movie “The Merry Gentleman,” and the radio program Eight Forty-Eight with host Steve Edwards on Chicago’s NPR station WBEZ. They’ve performed at the Chicago Jazz Festival and at venues around the country to critical success, and can be seen regularly around Chicago with the city’s top vocalists and instrumentalists. The Trio has also been able to transfer this focus into tangible success, as their last 2 CDs (“No One” and “Save Us”) spent over 10 weeks on the National and College Jazz Charts, while Chicago’s NPR station WBEZ named each among the year’s best in 2003 and 2005 respectively.
