Featuring
Gryphon Trio with Patricia O’Callaghan
Notes
It was at Lula Lounge, Toronto, that the Gryphons proved their commitment to changing the context for chamber music. Working with jazz and world-music artists, the Trio launched a series of programs that thrilled audiences. One of those programs, featuring tangos, pop tunes and Mexican folksongs, reunited the Gryphons with their Constantinople partners, O’Callaghan and Occhipinti, and led to Broken Hearts & Madmen. Produced again by Occhipinti, a classically trained jazz musician renowned for his work in Latin music who has also toured with experimental hip-hop stars Gorillaz, it was recorded like a pop album, with live in-studio performances and close miking of the musicians. Musically, the album is global in spirit, mixing Latin songs with jazz-tinged tunes by some of pop’s most revered composers.
