York Trio

The 'York Trio' is my main writing outlet at the moment. A relatively new project, 'York Trio' features long time collaberators: Mathias Ruppnig (Drums) and Tom Berkmann (Double bass).

 

The project formed in 2017 as the new vehicle for musical exploration during my Masters programme at HfM Weimar. Developed with legendary guitarist Frank Möbus, the band is an exploration into what a guitar trio can do with space and groove. Fusing rockier elements with modern jazz, the 'York Trio' heads in a different direction to other projects.

EARSHOT

Earshot is a four piece modern jazz combo led by Robert York and Arabella Sprot (Tenor Sax). All music is original and features: Mathias Ruppnig on Drums and Tom Berkmann on double bass.

The project has played every major venue in Berlin and has a loyal following. Earshot recorded their debut album 'Tell No One' in September 2017 and is now available on Spotify (see bottom-left) and as a CD (email for purchases).

The project draws on many influences including: Brian Blade Fellowship, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mark Turner, Aaron Parks, Mike Walker and many more. A strong emphasis is placed on melody and a discursive band interaction.
