 ...an artist who will likely continue to amaze us for a long time—without too much artifice, but with precision—and who here earns a place among our "Essential" albums for having taken us on a journey into a world that left us deeply moved.
Thierry De Clemensat, Paris-Move
The WHEE3TRIO is a brand-new project led by drummer Andy Wheelock who is joined by some of the Front Ranges most accomplished, exciting, and in demand musicians. Venezuelan bassist, Gonzalo Teppa and Cuban American pianist, Walter Gorra join Michigan native, now Wyoming resident Wheelock, for a unique and exciting exploration of Jazz infused with Afro-Latin, West African, and pop. Each member brings their own highly regarded experiences as band leaders and composers, but when the three joined forces for this project, the joy of friendship and total trust allowed the music to take on a life all its own. First inspired by Wheelocks study of the Ghanaian Gyil (a wooden xylophone made up of 14 keys, gourd resonators and tuned to roughly a pentatonic scale), the concept for this project began to take shape when Wheelock began exploring playing his Gyil along with live looping and guitar pedals.
