about the artists:
TRIPLEX unites three perennial performers and composers from New York's creative jazz scene: pianist Mara Rosenbloom, bassist Joe Fonda, and drummer Rob Garcia. The trio takes its name from the tensegrity structure of the same name, the simplest three-dimensional configuration capable of holding stable tension on its own, a fitting metaphor for a group built on balance, interdependence, and mutual support rather than a fixed hierarchy of roles. Each member brings decades of experience across the New York improvised music landscape, and together they create music that is at once structurally sound and freely responsive, with each voice pulling and giving in equal measure to keep the whole in motion.
MARA ROSENBLOOM
“A true revelation” - TIME OUT, BARCELONA
“Pianist, composer, & bandleader Mara Rosenbloom has been called “a whole-hearted poet of the piano,” – she is a builder & a synthesist; a fiercely lyrical composer & improviser.” - All About Jazz
JOE FONDA
"There is more to creative mastership than the surface of satisfaction and political certainty. The music of Joe Fonda is part of a living tradition of belief and dedication. Future historians will be surprised at the breadth of Mr. Fonda's offerings. This is a real virtuoso and composer of the highest order."
-Anthony Braxton
Joe Fonda, bassist of the year 2023
-The New York City Jazz Record
ROB GARCIA
“Garcia is a drummer of invention, grace and considerable fire.” - Downbeat
“remarkable drummer” - Village Voice
“A prime mover in the current Brooklyn jazz scene...” - Time Out-New York
“Thoughtful original music delivered with rare conviction.” - Jazz Times
