Early Show! Jazz + World Music: The Anansi Trio

The Anansi Trio is a group of like-minded musicians drawing from a wide range of musical influences. Using the language of jazz as their starting point, they also use elements of Afro-Cuban and Indian music as well as other global traditions.

Using percussion, saxophones, and acoustic bass, they create a music that’s unique and experimental yet remains accessible. With a diverse rhythmic approach and a focus on improvisation, The Anansi Trio hopes to put their own stamp on the American legacy known as Jazz.

“The Anansi Trio’s ability to put together and embellish effective melodies is amazing. Together they continue to be a unique and stimulating presence in the jazz world that deserves more attention.” – Jerome Wilson, All About Jazz
