SUMMARY:Steve Bernstein ResoNation Trio
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS\nWildly adventurous trumpeter/composer Steven Bern
 stein debuts his acoustic\, explorative ResoNation Trio on valve trumpe
 t with bassist Scott Colley and drummer Nasheet Waits.\n\n\n\n“Arrang
 er\, composer\, brass maniac\, and musical alchemist Steven Bernstein is a
 n all-purpose gift to human ears. If you’re a living soul who has ever f
 elt your foot tap or your bottom swing side-to-side because of\, say\, Ray
  Charles or Little Feat or Louis Armstrong\, then you owe it to yourself t
 o get Bernstein-ized. His musical net is wider than that\, but let’s sta
 rt there.” – Will Layman\, PopMatters\n\n\n\n\nFew artists exult in t
 he joyous exhilaration and intrepid spirit of communal music-making with t
 he fervor and vitality of visionary bandleader\, trumpeter\, composer and 
 arranger Steven Bernstein. With a breathtaking pair of intimately interre
 lated new albums\, he applies that bold passion to an uncharacteristically
  pared-down setting\, then transforms those stunning sounds via a startlin
 g process of sonic reinvention. The results are conjoined musical twins sh
 owcasing two radically different takes on the same radiant material.\n\nRe
 soNation Trio convenes a new chordless trio with master improvisers Scott
  Colley on bass and Nasheet Waits on drums. The album’s contemplative ex
 plorations feel like a departure from the raucous spirit that characterize
 s so much of the trumpeter’s work\, yet the trio discovers such an audac
 ious beauty and celebratory gusto in these sparse environments that the mu
 sic feels uniquely Bernstein’s. . It is also a rarity in his oeuvre for 
 featuring Bernstein - whose mastery of the little-used slide trumpet has b
 ecome so central to his sonic identity - exclusively playing valve trumpet
  and flugelhorn.\n\nIn parallel with this captivating trio excursion\, Ber
 nstein handed the recordings over to his longtime collaborator\, the pione
 ering producer Scotty Hard\, to reimagine the album through his own iconoc
 lastic lens. The result is the uncategorizable Ultra Resonance\, which fi
 nds Hard breaking down the ResoNation Trio session into its constituent 
 parts and redeploying them as the elements of a wholly original\, mutant c
 reation. The project released on June 5\, 2026 via Royal Potato Family as 
 a double vinyl or CD package containing both albums\, and separately on di
 gital streaming platforms.\n\nWith ResoNation Trio\, Bernstein remains c
 ommitted to finding fresh territory to explore in his own singular fashion
 . The sparse instrumentation of trumpet\, bass and drums yields a journey 
 just as fascinating and unique as any he’s crafted in the past. With the
  inspiration of that trio format came the insistence on calling Colley and
  Waits\, who Bernstein first heard playing with the legendary pianist Andr
 ew Hill. The project also reignited his long-nurtured desire to explore a 
 remix or dub-style retranslation of abstract improvisational music - a tre
 atment typically accorded to more familiar pop music\, making the prospect
  thrillingly unpredictable.\n\n
