GRAVITY: Eternal Triangle play a new piece of music with an original idea of Trevor's which has been developed to include mystical scales within a seven-sided universe.
Trevor Watts (alto and sopranosaxophones) Veryan Weston (keyboard) Jamie Harris (congas/darrabukka) Eternal Triangle A project led and inspired by Trevor Watts who has just turned 85. These compositions are founded on wonderfully complex and diverse rhythmic structures from Africa and South America as well as harmonies and melodies rooted in jazz and European music forms. This is a music with a depth that is both expansive and honest. The trio is built on two duos: Veryan and Trevor first played together in Trevor's “Moiré Music” in the early 1980s and since then have had a long collaboration in the 'Dialogues' project where their work as open improvisers was explored together for many years worldwide. The second duo consists of Jamie and Trevor where Jamie was involved in Trevor's 'Celebration Band' in the 2000s and later they were involved in a very successful duo touring worldwide and recording several CDs. In July 2021 the three musicians began working together on some beautiful new pieces specifically conceived by Trevor. The development of these compositions, for instance, can happen during rehearsals or during a concert. Any player in the group can discover something new within each piece, and therefore the compositions are ever changing. The strengths of this trio are like the durable and inert strength of a triangle, where each side supports the other - 'Eternal Triangle'. The band released in April 2024 their debut CD album – 'Gravity' for Jazz Now. They have now released for a CD label in the Netherlands - 'Moving On' for Niche |
