Trevor Giancola Trio: Fundamental

Guitarist Trevor Giancola sticks to the jazz fundamentals on this wonderfully swinging set with Neil Swainson/b and Adam Arruda/dr. Giancola has a rich and warm tone, not unlike Herb Ellis, and shows he knows how to bop with the  best on the peppy “Fascination” and Elmo Hopes bouncy “La Berthe.” He likes to have some fun on the strums doing some deft work on the calm “I See The Moon” and clever title track. The supporting team shows it’s ability to be Crispy Critters on “De Dah” and drives like a longhorn on Joe Henderson’s “Punjab.” Unpretentious and confident of using the basic ingredients for creating a flavorful meal.
