The Story
Guitarist and songwriter Danny Widdicombe and celebrated jazz trio Trichotomy return with Iridescence, a stunning blend of jazz, modern soul and funk.
Following the success of their acclaimed 2020 collaboration Between the Lines, renowned guitarist and songwriter Danny Widdicombe and celebrated jazz trio Trichotomy are back with Iridescence - a stunning blend of jazz, modern soul and funk - an album that showcases the seamless musical chemistry between Widdicombe and the trio.
Known for his work with The Wilson Pickers and his acclaimed solo releases, Widdicombe's distinctive songwriting and masterful guitar playing merge effortlessly with the bold improvisational energy of Trichotomy - featuring pianist Sean Foran, drummer John Parker, and bassist Samuel Vincent. The trio, whose past releases include Fact Finding Mission and Known-Unknown, are recognized for their innovative approach to the trio format, incorporating elements of post-rock, ambient music, and cinematic textures.
While deeply rooted in jazz, Iridescence also draws inspiration from a diverse range of artists and genres. Echoes of The Meters' groove-heavy funk, the soulful warmth of Leon Bridges and Ray LaMontagne, the atmospheric storytelling of Thomas Dybdahl, the dynamic energy of Tingsek & the grooves of Khruangbin weave their way through the album. This fusion of influences creates a sound that is rich, textured, and unbound by genre, offering listeners something truly unique.
Building on the foundations of Between the Lines, Iridescence is a deeper exploration of sonic interplay, with rich harmonies, evocative melodies and lyrics, and a fearless approach to composition and improvisation. With each track, the group pushes their creative boundaries, blurring genres and redefining contemporary jazz & soul.
