Myriad3
Myriad3 was an accident. Chris Donnelly, Daniel Fortin, and Ernesto Cervini had never played together until a few substitutions and a twist of fate put them on stage together for the first time in late 2010. Since then, the trio has been making music in every jazz club in the Greater Toronto Area.
The band is a true collective. Each member acts simultaneously as a leader and a sideman. They play mostly original music that features different aspects of jazz improvisation, ensemble playing and contemporary composition. Myriad3 is modern jazz, meets classical, meets pop, meets Oscar Peterson.
In November 2012, Myriad3 released their debut album, Tell on Universal/Alma Records.
FRENCH TRANSLATION:
Myriad3 n’était pas fait exprès. Chris Donnelly, Dan Fortin et Ernesto Cervini n’avaient jamais joué ensemble jusqu’a que quelques remplacements et un peu de chance les ont mis en scène, ensemble pour la première fois, a la fin de l’année 2010. Depuis, le trio joue souvent dans toutes les salles de jazz à Toronto et les alentours.
La groupe est une vraie collectif. Chaque membre participe simultanément comme dirigeant et accompagnateur. Ils jouent, pour la plupart, de la musique originale qui démonstre plusieurs aspects différents de l’improvisation et composition comtemporain. Myriad3 est de la même fois le jazz moderne, la musique classique, la musique pop, tout en étant inspiré par Oscar Peterson.

“It is with “C Jam Blues” wherein their sharp taste for voluntary disruption is the most obviously noticeable. The trio succeeds in giving the impression of an Oscar Peterson LP which a DJ has amused himself by changing the tempos at random (and thus the tonalities) – passing the torch of the grand tradition of jazz trios which originated in Toronto
