Three Of Seven live at Donau115Libor Šmoldas Guitar · Samuel Zerna Bass · Jesse Simpson Drums
Three of the seven continents of our planet contributed one musician each to the creation of the international jazz trio, Three of Seven. Europe is represented by Czech guitarist Libor Šmoldas, distant Australia by double bassist Sam Zerna, and North America by drummer Jesse Simpson, originally from California. What connects all three is the jazz mecca of New York, the city where Sam Zerna lives, Jesse Simpson lived and studied at the Manhattan School of Music, and where Libor Šmoldas regularly goes to perform and record.
You can look forward to a balanced combination of jazz standards and original compositions by all three members of Three of Seven. The music of the trio is full of improvisation, joy of playing and, last but not least, instrumental mastery, which is always in the service of melody and musicality. Due to the different cultures and musical backgrounds from which Libor, Sam and Jesse come, the resulting style is very varied and at the same time harmonious, linked by a common love of jazz history and an open approach to improvisation.
Libor Šmoldas is our leading jazz guitarist. Among the world clubs where he performs, there are Ronnie Scotts, Pizza Express, Smalls, Iridium, Blue Note, Birdland, Deer Head Inn, B flat, Porgy and Bess and Bennetts Lane. He played and recorded with world musicians such as George Mraz, Jeff Ballard, Sam Yahel, Bobby Watson, Adam Nussbaum, James Morrison, Brian Charette, Gregory Hutchinson, Jon Faddis and Jay Anderson. In the Czech Republic, he has collaborated with the complete top of jazz, including, for example, Ondřej Pivec, Robert Balzar and David Dorůžka. He has released eleven albums under his own name and a number of others as a bandmate. The Czech and international press agree on his high qualities and leading position among European jazz guitarists.
Samuel Zerna is an Australian bass player based in New York. In addition to Australia and the USA, he has performed throughout Europe, the U.K., China and New Zealand. Samuel has performed with leading New York musicians such as Will Vinson, Michael Mayo, Mike Moreno, Ben Eunson, Chris Cheek and Rogerio Boccato at venues such as Smalls Jazz Club, Mezzrow, the 55 Bar, the Kennedy Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center Shanghai, the Southbank Center London et al.
