trioVD

...the world's first stadium improv band...

About Me

"...A truly mesmerising band, go and see them as soon as you can."
Jazzwise
"The terrific Leeds-based Trio VD followed up with an equally ferocious display, this time a fast, tight and awesomely expert conjunction of spiky high-energy compositions, uninhibited sax and guitar improv and machine-gun drumming"
John Fordham
London Jazz Festival Review
"...earth-shattering, taking a sledgehammer to preconceived limitations of jazz..." - Mike Flynn TIME OUT (LONDON)
WATCH!!!!!
...this band’s edgy humour, dark near-Satanic thrashing and disdainful virtuosity is both vivid and refreshing...bursting with barely contained passion...an explosive performance...expect further sightings of Marshall amps in jazz clubs near you." - JAZZWISE
Since their first performances in early 2006, trioVD have proved themselves to be amongst the most exciting and energetic bands associated with the Leeds Improvised Music Association (LIMA).
(“LIMA are rapidly making a name for producing some of the most progressive sounds anywhere in the country” - JAZZWISE)
