Perhaps Europe's most coveted drummer, Han Bennink, the 2008 European Jazz Prize winner has performed with Sonny Rollins, Eric Dolphy and Dexter Gordon. Noted musicians Michael Moore (reeds) and Will Holshouser (accordion) complete this trio. Pyrotechnic improvisational journeys, whimsical tangents and blissful culminations come fast and furious when the Third Man Trio takes the stage.

"...from crisp Ellingtonian swing into cacophonous group improvisation"
— The New York Times,

"Everybody should, before they die, see Han Bennink." — The Miami Herald
