About Me

Formed by past and current Jazz Studies students at UNCA, the Da Capo Trio began in the hopes of performing a high level of jazz and keeping alive the classic sounds of be-bop, fusion, funk, cool jazz, free jazz, and all the other various sub-genres. Always seeking to expand the frontiers of jazz performed in the Asheville area, we currently perform standards by Miles, Bird, Coltrane, Monk, Jobim, Hammerstein/Kern and also include originals and pieces by current musicians that will soon be considered standards in their own right. So sit back, listen, relax, and enjoy the scene.
