“Only occasionally — a few times in a generation, even — does a pianist come along who seems to have gobbled up and processed so much music, their style can make sense of both jazz’s history and its present in a single motion.
Micah Thomas is one of those players.”

Micah Thomas Trio
Dean Torrey (bass), Kayvon Gordon (drums)
Micah Thomas’ trio, working together since 2019, are creating a musical language where each member provides balance and imbalance and works within a constantly shifting group texture. Drawing on the rich tradition of piano-bass-drums ensembles since the 20th century, the trio manipulates shapes, harmony, and rhythm in a rich tapestry on the platform of Micah’s compositions.
