"THREE" documents a unique live show by the Thollem McDonas/Valerio Cosi/Enzo Franchini trio, made in Rimini (Italy, late 2006). When Valerio and Enzo met Thollem, they decided to tour together and gather their forces delving deep into the realm of free improvised music. Thollem's comprovisational approach met Valerio & Enzo's improvisational skills as an acoustic sax/drums duo, the live results gave birth to an absolutely spontaneous, fierce and romantic 1 hour voyage. Finally coming out of the closet after 10 years and available for the public consumption, "Three" is a free jazz recording that highlights the trio's improvisational abilities with a classical, thoughtful and unexpectedly romantic touch.

Valerio Cosi: "I feel like this is one of the best concerts I've ever made and for me it was a true honor to work with Thollem. He's the true master behind this record and I'm so glad we finally had a chance to remaster the original audio material."

Enzo Franchini: "A unique event, I remember the whole thing as if it had happened yesterday... That night you could have witnessed something extraordinarily deep and new".

about

Valerio Cosi Italy

"Free jazz mixed with psych-rock and electronic music, and all kinds of awesome" (Pitchfork)

"Cosi is a master at bending tones and meshing multiple instruments and styles into a cohesive unit. Layers of guitars, horns, percussion and more create everything from whimsical pop to sprawling, esoteric drone" (FoxyDigitalis)

Mike Osborne was a very special musician...I remember him as quietly intense and thoughtful and not a seeker of the limelight...I must have seen him play dozens of times in many small venues from ‘68 to ‘75 or so...I loved his playing...a high end technician but full of heart as well as head...I still listen to his music a lot on the original vinyl and i’m so pleased this gig has surfaced. Hugh respect to Jazz In Britain for their whole initiative...you have made an old man very happy... John Cratchley
