For one night of his Stone residency in spring 2018, drummer Tomas Fujiwara convened a new trio with vibraphonist Patricia Brennan and cellist Tomeka Reid. Called 7 Poets Trio, the group explored newly-composed music inspired by the instruments’ large timbral contrast and the players’ distinct personalities. The trio then recorded these works in the studio, resulting in an eponymous debut released in 2019.
