About Me

THE ORANGE MIGHTY TRIO:Equally conversant in traditional roots music, classical forms and jazz improvisation, the Orange Mighty Trio delves into mostly original material, sprinkled with a few fiddle tunes and other favorites. This adventurous cross-pollination on violin, piano and bass creates a unique crossover ensemble with a wide range-- a contemporary chamber-music-fiddle-band, you might say.PRESS FOR OUR NEW EP:"...absolutely not to be missed by fans of Tin Hat Trio or Darol Anger's Republic of Strings." -- Cedar Cultural Center"Combines mountainy roots music with urban jazz and hints of classical, careening between beautiful, bold and a bit of bombast." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune"Sometimes playful, sometimes dark, sometimes airy--always fascinating." -- Pulse of the Twin CitiesORDER A COPY:The Orange Mighty Trio EP --$11 including shipping (we will mail it to you)The Orange Mighty Trio EP, MP3 download --$6 (after paying, follow the link back to Zack's site to download)It is also available for $11 atcdbabyif you prefer.
