ALL ABOUT THE BOOM!
Homegrown alt-jazz band BOOM! Trio is thrilled to announce the launch of its debut album. The self-titled “BOOM! Trio” features seven tracks celebrating the members’ deep love for the outer rim of jazz where funk and soul inform all that they do.
BOOM! Trio formed in 2022 when three of Atlanta’s busiest musicians discovered they shared a common vocabulary acquired through growing up on the same music. Their musical alignment allowed them to flow seamlessly through an eclectic range of genres, writing and arranging a handful of new tunes at each rehearsal. The best cuts made the cut and now comprise the eponymous album.
Founding members include saxophonist Mkolisi, drummer Robert Boone, Jr. and hybrid-guitarist Kelly McCarty. Vocalist Lavahi began joining the trio for performances and today has become an integral member of the group – BOOM! Trio ft. Lavahi.
As individuals, BOOM! Trio members have toured and performed with a wide range of artists, including: The Count Basie Orchestra, The Floozies, Larkin Poe, Angie Stone, Father John Misty, Kurt Elling, Marcus Roberts, The Shadowboxers, Dee Dee Bridgewater and many more.
