up jumped three – original jazz trio
Up Jumped Three was conceived as a ‘reunion’ project for Bryan and Frank Southecorvo, returning to a creative relationship after several years apart, after the dissolution of their former trio, ‘Done For The Evening.’ Guitarist/Composer, Tim Winter, joined soon after the creation of the project, and brings another unique compositional and performance voice. The focus of the group is on all original modern music, mostly in the ‘jazz’ idiom, although forays into other styles are common as well. Though the band is at its core a ‘drummerless’ trio, the group expands to a special quartet on occasion to give an added dimension to the compositions and depth of sound. 3 studio albums are available – 2016’s ‘Eleven Dialogues’, 2017’s ‘Crosstalk’, and the new 2020 self-titled release.

solo electric & double bass explorations
exploring rich and unique textures and solo voices
Composing and performing on solo electric or double bass presents a number of challenges. How to make a typically ‘background’ instrument sing and make a statement has become easier over the years, thanks to tireless innovators who have shown that the bass can stand on its own as a solo instrument. For Bryan, the focus in solo performances (usually with a looper and other effects/textures) is less about pyrotechnics and flash, and more about texture, rhythm, melody, space, and emotion. Bryan has released 6 solo bass albums – 2014’s ‘Transference’, 2017’s ‘New Dreams’, 2019’s solo double bass EP, “Questions For A new Day’, 2020’s ‘sketchbook 2020’, 2021’s ‘farewell to a friend’, and new for 2022, ‘trading futures’ and ‘bright times’.
