Gifted musical threesome, Sparrow Trio has designed an experience not likely forgotten. Artists Takana Miyamoto (piano, organ), Ede Wright (electric guitar) and Chris Burroughs (drums) have taken the aural experience of Jimi Hendrix to a whole new level.

In their skillful hands, Hendrix's music is recomposed, rearranged and massaged into an ecclectic symphony of rock, blues and jazz improvisation. Sparrow Trio releases such a sharp and electric spirit of Hendrix that even the most loyal fan would sincerely appreciate the sheer honesty of work.
