When the originators of the Asheville Original Music series—bassist Mike Holstein and drummer Justin Watt—teamed up with pianist Dr. William Bares (Harvard ethnomusicology Ph.D and professor of music at UNC Asheville) a decade ago to create a working jazz piano trio, the result was a new musical concept that has blurred the lines between art and entertainment, structure and spontaneity. The group has has evolved a sound that combines elements of global music, Americana and jazz in ways that are recognizably artistic and quintessentially Ashevillian.
As the date of the live recording fast approaches, our heroes find themselves faced with the E.Normus task of pulling their music from the folds of the space-time continuum.

Bill Bares’s “Golden Age" Trio features jazz professors. The group’s swing- and bebop- infused spontaneity recalls the jazz produced in the 1950s and 1960s, where trios led by Erroll Garner, Ramsey Lewis, Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Ahmad Jamal and Red Garland contributed to what will forever be known as jazz’s “Golden Age."
