Tangential Trio are a Norwich-based jazz three-piece featuring trumpet/flugelhorn, double bass and drums. Our trumpeter sometimes uses loops to build layers of harmony and sound, and our bassist sometimes uses effects to enhance his sound. People like the combination of pure acoustics and a little bit of electronics.
Band members are:
Chris Dowding, trumpet, flugelhorn, loops & fx
Jake Lay, drums
George McKay, double bass, fx
