The Art of Three features a powerhouse lineup: Billy Cobham on drums, Ron Carter on bass, and Kenny Barron on piano. These three legends represent the pinnacle of their respective instruments. Carter, known for his impeccable timing and woody, resonant tone, provides a sturdy foundation that allows Barron to weave intricate, melodic tapestries. Cobham, even in an acoustic setting, maintains his signature polyrhythmic complexity and explosive power, though he displays a remarkable sensitivity to the trio's volume and space.
