MARC CARY’S INNOVATIVE FOCUS TRIO SET TO RELEASE FOUR DIRECTIONS, LONG ANTICIPATED SECOND STUDIO ALBUM
SLATED FOR OCTOBER 8 RELEASE VIA
MOTÉMA MUSIC




Focus Trio Features Sameer Gupta on Drums and Tabla,

Four Directions Follows up Cary’s Powerfully Acclaimed
Solo Piano Tribute, For the Love of Abbey (Motéma, June 2013)


 
Marc Cary has spent close to a decade honing a distinctive sound and improvisational approach with his enduring and much acclaimed Focus Trio. Four Directions, the band’s first studio recording in eight years, follows on the heels of two powerful interim releases (Focus Trio Live 2008 and Focus Trio Live 2009). Despite a few shifts in the bass chair, and an ever-transforming array of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, the band’s original mission, as Cary stated in his liner notes for Focus, the band’s 2006 debut, remains the same: “to bring indigenous rhythms together with American jazz to create new palettes of sound.”
