REDSHIFT TRIO

Trumpeter Josh Deutsch and guitarist Nico Soffiato have been playing together as a duo since 2006, when they met in Boston. Over the years, the musical relationship born through this collaboration resulted in a set of music composed specifically for this ensemble, including several co-written works. Josh and Nico have created a book of original music borrowing from some of their favorite classical, jazz and pop ideals. The music ranges from electronic loops to entirely acoustic pieces, balancing carefully crafted compositions with space for exciting improvisations and interaction.

Their third album Redshift, on the label nusica.org features two great drummers of the New York scene: Allison Miller and Dan Weiss. It’s due to be released in January 2020 by the Italian label nusica.org They perform regularly in the New York City area and have toured the West Coast and Italy.
