about

The music of the Culpo/Richard/Herbert Trio accurately reflects the diversity of it's members, three musicians who compose and perform, with backgrounds in various musical traditions; classical, contemporary, jazz, as well as interdisciplinary experiences (dance, theatre, circus, opera), and cross cultural experiences (Oriental, Brazilian, and African musics). This diversity is integrated and transformed and the resulting aesthetic is not eclecticism, but wholeness.

Thus the writing successfully incorporates components of different genres of music. It is at times very strict (as in "classical music"), at times very sparse (free jazz), at times very traditional (fixed, repeating harmonic progressions), and at times totally open (improvised music).

This wholeness is also reflected in the group's balancing of ensemble improvisation involving two or three musicians, with "soloist" improvisation. Improvisation is used to illuminate and project the composition into spaces where one might not expect the musical materials to go, without allowing improvisation to dominate the character of the composition.

Other manifestations of this wholeness is the openness to any method, type, or language of improvisation, and the manner in which the musicians are not locked into roles based on their instrument; each may assume responsibility for harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic elements depending upon the musical situation.

LOVE AND BANANAS ARE HERE, by the Culpo/Richard/Herbert Trio contains 11 compositions by the members of the trio.
