Joe Davidian Trio

The Joe Davidian Trio was formed in Miami, Florida in 2003 as an outgrowth of the prestigious University of Miami Concert Jazz Band, with Joe Davidian on piano, Jamie Ousley on bass, and Austin McMahon on drums. The trio members, each with a Master’s degree in Jazz Performance, made an instant musical connection in their approach to playing standards and originals by performing regularly at various Miami venues.

JD3 has since performed at festivals around the country, including Festival Miami and Burlington Vermont’s Discover Jazz Festival, and recently headlined the Ballydehob International Jazz Festival in Ireland in May '08.

The Joe Davidian Trio has backed a who’s who of jazz artists, including Dave Liebman, Carmen Lundy, Bob Mintzer, Greg Abate and Ira Sullivan. Currently, the trio is performing around the U.S. and internationally, and has just released a new album of original compositions, entitled "Silent Fire."
