Trio Generations stands for the clash of generations on the highest imaginable level of musical creativity: 21-year-old Austrian drummer Emil Gross joins the renowned jazz musicians Joe Fonda and Michael J. Stevens. It is the reappraisal of fusion and difference regarding the life concepts and styles of the artists as well as their very different, but not contradictory, approaches towards music. The creative resources of the music of Trio Generations are defined by the musical concepts of the three musicians on the very basis of their originality and their traditions. The performance is based upon firmly composed music as well as free improvisation. The trio's audible output is a crisp, fresh, modern sound -- indefinable somewhere between Jazz, Avant-garde, Funk, Rock and Reggae, and establishing a thrilling tension from start to finish.
