“Tyshawn Sorey treats the Great American Songbook as an evolving entity, emphasizing the importance of capturing the spirit of a music and its people as much as documenting the specific notes and lyrics.” — The Bandcamp Daily

Pulitzer Prize-winning composer and multi-instrumentalist Tyshawn Sorey leads a powerhouse trio featuring Grammy-nominated pianist Aaron Diehl and acclaimed bassist Harish Raghavan — a collaboration The New York Times hails as “stunning.”

Formed in 2021, the Tyshawn Sorey Trio has quickly become one of the most vital voices in modern jazz, releasing three critically acclaimed albums: Mesmerism and Continuing (2023), and The Susceptible Now (2024). Their sound glides effortlessly from original compositions to bold reinterpretations of the American Songbook, reshaping the familiar with elegance and edge.

Coming off a celebrated run at the Village Vanguard and tour stops across the U.S. and Europe, the Trio brings a fresh, emotionally charged perspective to the jazz repertoire, thrilling audiences with every performance.
