TRIPLICATE
(0 reviews)TRIPLICATE, a progressive jazz trio, is seen on several stages throughout the Twin Cities. They have been an opening act for popular jazz and R&B artists including Spyro Gyra, at the Minnesota Zoo Amphitheater, and 'the most recorded drummer in the world,' Bernard Pretty Purdie, at the Cedar Cultural Centre. TRIPLICATE is Joel Shapira on guitar, Bruce Pooch Heine on bass and Dave Stanoch on drumset.
TRIPLICATE became a band more by accident than design. Their repertoire was formed from casual jam sessions and a desire to stretch, burn and play nice melodies. Tight arrangements range from works by composers like Charles Mingus, John McLaughlin and Miles Davis, to a growing body of original compositions, that all are given the 'Triplicate Treatment' - blending modern attitude and hard hitting traditional energy with a soft spot for dark melodies to produce funky music that rocks and swings hard.
In the fall of 1998, TRIPLICATE was featured in the Jazz Is Cool music education series sponsored by The American Federation of Musicians Union Local #30-73, and The Twin Cities Jazz Society, performing concerts and clinics at various Twin Cities high schools. They have been featured on the television programs KARE-11 Today and Twin Cities Public Television's 'NewsNight Minnesota.'
In early 2001, TRIPLICATE released their self-titled debut CD with a concert at The Dakota in St. Paul. It is currently in regular rotation on KBEM 88.5 FM and is also receiving air play on KFAI 90.3/106.7 FM, Minnesota Public Radio's 'The Jazz Image,' and WCCO 830 AM.
