The Pete Krebs Trio,
from Portland, Oregon is a string ensemble whose music evokes
the early days of jazz, both American and European. Equal
parts Nat King Cole Trio and
Django Reinhardt, the PK3 draws
from many musical traditions in creating the group's sound.
From the wet cobblestones of Paris
to the heat of Buenos Aires and
the smoky brilliance of New York's
jazz skyline, the Trio evokes an ambiance equally rooted in
the past and the present.
Led
by guitarist and singer Pete Krebs,
the band features David Langenes
on guitar and Keith Brush on
upright bass. All three also play with Portland early jazz
dynamos The Stolen Sweets.
The
PK3 has released their self-titled first
CD, which features originals and the band's signature
take on standards both old and new, as well as guest artists
from Portland's musical aristocracy
including Farnell Newton, James
Mason, Todd Bayles, Lou
Chavez, and a cameo by the Stolen
Sweets girls!
The
PK3 are constantly performing both locally and on the road,
and are available for bookings for occasions big and small.
