Wvc Trio

In the fall of 2004 at West Virginia University in the US, the Wvc Trio was originally formed as a class for three music majors: Adam Osmianski, Tay Cher Siang, and Jon Cavendish. The three immediately noticed that they had musical chemistry and began holding extra rehearsals and continuing the class semester after semester, building a very large book of repertoire containing original materials, and the groups' own unique arrangements of jazz standards and rock tunes. Drawing inspiration from the great trios of the past like Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, and today's modern counterparts such as Brad Mehldau and The Bad Plus - as well as the great music of Brazil - the Wvc Trio has developed a sound of their own. In the summer of 2008 the trio toured Malaysia and Singapore for 7 weeks, and recorded their first studio album.
