On Trio of Bloom, their self-titled debut release out September 26, 2025 via Pyroclastic Records, three wholly singular artists – Craig Taborn, Nels Cline and Marcus Gilmore – converge for their first-ever meeting, creating what Nate Chinen of WRTI calls a “new-groove supergroup.”
…a first-time collaboration that feels like the work of a proper band. These three players are well-known in the orbits of progressive jazz and beyond, and a particular alchemy occurs between them here…. While each has showed impressive range in the past, ‘Trio of Bloom’… startles with its breadth, touching on serene sonic ambience, funky Afrobeat flow and scrambling avant-jazz.” – Hank Shteamer, The New York Times
“The entire record is shot through with a kind of brimming intensity and an audible joy…These guys were simply made to play together…Killer stuff.” – Jason Bivins, Point of Departure
“…this music is full of riffs and thunder, with Cline searing the air, Taborn creating auditory illusions and Gilmore thundering behind them. But quiet, atmospheric moments abound too, and are just as worthwhile.” – Phil Freeman, The Wire
