Robin Eubanks has been using electronics to augment the sonic palette of his trombone for more than 15 years. EB3 was created for the express purpose of exploring modern technologies within his music, and advancing the art of Trombone in general. All three members of the EB3 collective share a love jazz, funk, and rock, not to mention a musical fluency in odd meters. Additionally, the band follows one guiding principle whereby all members must fulfill roles ordinarily handled by two or more musicians.
Robin Eubanks + EB3: The result is that 1+1+1= 4 and more. |
