Listeners can expect to hear cinematic stories without words, with both the intricacies of carefully crafted scenes with the excitement and energy of spontaneous creation. Leader, bassist, and composer Jesse Dietschi has been called a “virtuoso” by DownBeat Magazine, and a “musical contrabassist” by The WholeNote. He is an active freelance jazz upright and electric bassist and performs regularly as an extra section bassist with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company, and Mirvish musical theatre productions. The influences of these varying styles can be heard on the trio’s debut album, Gradient, which was released in the fall of 2023 to great critical acclaim, including a 3 ½ star review in the December 2023 edition of DownBeat Magazine.
