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.

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.
