"expansive technique, propulsive time and deep musicality" "his style is characterized by a crisp attack and quick attentive reflexes. Ari Hoenig approaches jazz drumming with manic glee, and yet he's exacting with texture and pulse, an irrepressibly kinetic drummer ." Nate Chinen, NY Times

The three have been collaborating in different ensembles since 2003 (Kolker's "Sultanic Verses"), and appear here at CSC for the second time, always searching and hoping to bring something new to compositions by the trio as well as from such masters as Thelonious Monk and Wayne Shorter.
"[Kolker’s] a real improviser, making impulsive choices about phrasing and how to imply a chord..." --Ben Ratliff - NY Times
"Billy Hart has been a coveted drummer for decades...His open-ended, direct technique opens up the music and the other soloists...makes few expected moves."--Jeff McCord, Downbeat
"Hebert is one of New York's first call bassists, boasting a reverberant tone, supple time feel and melodic sensibility as both a soloist and accompanist."--Ted Pankin, Downbeat

She has performed with Joseph C. Phillips “Numinous”, Abdullah Ibrahim’s Cape Town Jazz Orchestra, and most recently lent her voice to Brian Adler’s “Helium Project”, which also features artists such as Kate McGarry and Ben Monder.

“Nicky Schrire has a warm, honey-rich voice…a naturally engaging stage presence, a distinctive sound, assurance and focus. And besides all that, she is someone who will undoubtedly win you over with her charm, humour and empathy.” -Peter Eldridge
