Time for Three @ Caffe Lena

The groundbreaking, category-shattering trio Time for Three (Tf3) transcends traditional classification, with elements of classical, country western, gypsy and jazz idioms forming a blend all its own. The members - Nicolas (Nick) Kendall, violin; Charles Yang, violin; and Ranaan Meyer, double bass - carry a passion for improvisation, composition, and arrangements, all prime elements of the ensembles playing. Tf3s high-energy performances are free of conventional practices, drawing instead from the members unique musical backgrounds. The trio also performs its own arrangements of traditional repertoire and Ranaan Meyer provides original compositions to complement the trios offerings.
