Introducing The SOME of IT All, an avant-garde jazz trio that pushes the boundaries of
the genre, featuring three of the most innovative and talented musicians in modern jazz:
drummer Jeremy "Bean" Clemons, saxophonist Bluford Thompson, and bassist Kevin
Beardsley.
Jeremy "Bean" Clemons is a renowned drummer celebrated for his intricate rhythms and dynamic stage presence. Clemons has collaborated with legends such as Gregory Porter, Andy Bey, and Burning Spear, showcasing his versatility and creativity across a wide range of musical settings. His distinctive drumming blends elements of soul, reggae, hip-hop, and jazz, establishing him as a standout force in the music world.
Bluford Thompson (Blu), a tenor saxophonist of exceptional skill, brings a deep emotional range to his playing. Known for his virtuosic command of the instrument, Thompson has spent years mastering his craft, performing in diverse settings, from traditional big bands to experimental jazz ensembles. His sound draws inspiration from jazz greats while exploring new tonal possibilities, pushing the expressive boundaries of the saxophone.
Kevin Beardsley, a highly regarded upright bassist, provides the rhythmic anchor of the trio, offering a melodic and harmonic foundation that enriches the ensemble's sound. Beardsley’s approach is deeply rooted in jazz traditions, yet he remains unafraid to take bold risks. His musicianship has led to collaborations with leading jazz figures, and his ability to weave intricate bass lines into complex improvisations adds a profound depth to the trio’s music.
This dynamic trio is defined by their collective creativity, blending their voices into a fluid, cohesive musical dialogue. Their performances are a master class in spontaneous musical interaction, where each musician listens and responds to the others, resulting in a seamless flow of innovative ideas. Together, they explore uncharted territories of avant- garde jazz, embracing unconventional sounds and pushing the boundaries of improvisation. With their deep reverence for jazz history combined with their forward- thinking approach, this trio delivers electrifying performances that captivate and inspire.
