trioKAIT is: Kait Dunton on piano and keyboards, Cooper Appelt on electric bass, and Jake Reed on drums. Fused together via Kait’s unconventional compositions, the trio melds into a laser-focused single entity, bringing a modern, tight and groovy concept to the piano trio format. Six years and three albums in, trioKAIT has developed a dynamic group sound and acquired many accolades along the way, including 4.5 stars in Downbeat and top spots on the JazzWeek charts for each album (#5, #11, #20).
A “confluence of the classic piano trio, and space-aged funk and fusion.”
