ACOUSTIC TRIANGLE
INTRO
Malcolm Creese's trio Acoustic Triangle offers an innovative blend of
melodic modern jazz and contemporary 'classical' music. The trio performs
around the world in carefully picked concert halls, churches, cathedrals and
festivals, always without any form of amplification. In addition to their
busy concert schedule, the three virtuoso musicians have appeared together
on radio and television.
Acoustic Triangle consists of double bassist Creese, reeds player Tim
Garland and pianist/French horn player Gwilym Simcock.
"Adventurous, eclectic, frequently breathtaking... undisputed masters of
the game." The Guardian
