Sadly, this post focuses on a band that is no longer functioning - the three pieces of Three Piece have gone on to their own separate projects and interests. Despite this, however, the music they created is too enjoyable to miss. The members of Three Piece met in high school and experimented in all different forms of music at "The Cabin," an old tobacco barn turned music studio. At the cabin, musicians from all backgrounds were welcomed (including this very author), and no genre went untouched - from death metal to jazz, blues to electronic - it was a forum for learning new things. As the years went by, the members were whittled down to three, and had settled on a direction. The music of Three Piece is most easily considered as part of the jam band genre, not too far removed from the likes of Phish, String Cheese Incident, and Medeski, Martin and Wood. They explore different moods with their music, from straight ahead rocking to whimsical old-time jazz. They're at their best when they are pushing themselves close to the red line, and all of the members are pushing their skills, which they all have in spades, to the limit.
