The ongoing collaboration between alto saxophonist Nick Mazzarella, bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and drummer Avreeayl Ra brings together three generations of improvised music practitioners. The trio’s spontaneous compositions connect the distinctive instrumental voices and musical sensibilities of each member into a unified expression which draws inspiration from classic free jazz small groups of the 1960s and 1970s. To date, the group has released two albums—Azimuth (2015) and What You Seek Is Seeking You (2021)—and has performed in Norway, Austria, Germany, and the Netherlands.

“What makes this trio’s work most compelling is how collective it is.” – Chicago Reader
