Steven Bernstein ResoNation Trio: NYC Album Release Show — live event

With ResoNation Trio, Bernstein remains committed 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 Andrew Hill. The spacious, skeletal pieces that Bernstein penned for ResoNation Trio open new and expansive pathways for the veteran trumpeter. But they also carry him full circle, back to some of his formative influences and his early experiences with the wide-open experimentation on the 1980s Downtown scene. The compositional techniques that Bernstein utilized for the album called upon memories of even earlier influences. He grew up listening to the pioneering likes of Don Cherry, Lester Bowie, Baikida Carroll, Wadada Leo Smith, and Butch Morris, the latter of whom hired him for some of his earliest gigs in New York. The innovative trumpet and compositional voices of these distinctly individualistic artists helped pave the way for his own, and planted the seed for an ebullient and daring musical direction that has finally found a forum for expression. Bernstein pairs the debut of his acoustic, explorative ResoNation Trio with a startling reinvention by eclectic producer Scotty Hard, with the companion album, Ultra Resonance. In parallel with this captivating trio excursion, Bernstein handed the recordings over to his longtime collaborator, the pioneering Hard, to reimagine the album through his own iconoclastic lens. The result is the uncategorizable Ultra Resonance, which finds Hard breaking down the ResoNation Trio session into its constituent parts and redeploying them as the elements of a wholly original, mutant creation.
