Details:
Colorado-based group 3ology is a jazz trio exploring the possibilities of improvisation and groove in an angular and fresh way.

Together, saxophonist Doug Carmichael (Mojomama, C Spot Groove), acoustic and electric bassist Tim Carmichael (C Spot Groove, Ryan Elwood Trio) and drummer Jon Powers (Shannon Wexelberg, Sanskrit, eveningtide) produce a paradoxical sound that is both avant garde and melodic, edgy and spacious.

Members of the group draw on influences as diverse as Michael Brecker, Rush, The Yellowjackets, Miles Davis, Living Colour, U2, John Coltrane, and Me'shell Ndegeocello. Their debut self-titled CD, recorded in April 2007, not only captures the essence of the band's sound, but also points to an exciting future for this unique collaboration.
