Trevor Watts : Alto & Soprano Saxophones/Composer
Veryan Weston : Piano & Synth
Jamie Harris : Congas & Percussion

Eternal Triangle plays the music of Trevor Watts: compositions originally inspired by rhythmic structures from Africa and South America as well as jazz and European musical forms.

The trio is built on two duos: Veryan and Trevor first played together in Trevor's "Moiré Music" in the early 1980s and since then have had a long collaboration in the 'Dialogues' project where their work as open improvisers was explored together for many years worldwide. The second duo consists of Jamie and Trevor where Jamie was involved in Trevor's 'Celebration Band' in the 2000s and later in a very successful duo touring worldwide and recording several CDs. The third duo with Veryan and Jamie is yet to be explored!

In July 2021 the three musicians began working together on some beautiful new pieces specifically conceived by Trevor. The development of these compositions, for instance, can happen during rehearsals or during a concert. Any player in the group can discover something new within each piece, and therefore the compositions are ever changing. The strengths of this trio are like the durable and inert strength of a triangle, where each side supports the other - 'Eternal Triangle'. This is a music with a depth that is both expansive and honest.

Hume and May

Paul May (drums) and Carolyn Hume (piano, keys) have been playing and recording together for over 20 years. They have released 6 critically-acclaimed albums on Leo Records (a world-famous specialist record label based in Kingskerswell!) and have a new duo album ready for release in early 2021.
Hume and May are a piano/keys and drums duo. Their music moves from minimalist romanticism to unsettling and remote landscapes.

??the pianist Hume and the drummer May create a beguiling soundscape whose delicate shifts of mood and texture are simple but extraordinarily effective. ??
Phil Johnson, The Independent

?intriguing and often haunting?
