Trichotomy – Fact Finding Mission

Eastside Radio’s Album of the Week is Fact Finding Mission by Trichotomy.

Formerly known as Misinterprotato for over a decade, Brisbane trio Trichotomy are one of Australia’s more successful international jazz exports with their last two albums released through the British label NAIM. Their latest album Fact Finding Mission continues this trend (although in Australia it’s a release on the fantastic Melbourne Jazzhead label), and it sees Sean Foran, John Parker and Pat Machisella continue to push the boundaries of the traditional jazz trio of piano, bass and drums.

The trio bring a sense of adventure to jazz music. All original, modern and improvised, their avant garde style is characterised by energetic melodies, diverse bass lines and flowing rhythms.

There is a total understanding of each player’s style between the three with some breathtaking interplay on the release. Indeed such identification between the trio is key to the success of their cross pollination of styles. Fact Finding Mission covers modern jazz, avant rock and alternative classical music, with Trichotomy excelling in their multiformity and obscurity.

Fact Finding Mission is a release by Jazzhead Records. For more information go to jazzhead.com
