One year ago today, the Trio released their 12th r One year ago today, the Trio released their 12th recording "Echoes of Arrival".

A lot has happened in the past year: the band continues to tour and record, playing concerts in performing arts halls and clubs.  And, the group was recently named 2026 Jazz Artists of the Year by the The Wammie Awards 

Legendary writer @willardjenkinsjazzologist wrote this in the liner notes: 

This date marks a turning point in the Eric Byrd Trio evolution as he and his longtime drum partner Alphonso Young, Jr., who has been such a steady, productive hand, and deeply complimentary partner across the previous ten Eric Byrd Trio recordings, are joined by newcomer bassist Will Hazel, about whom our leader is quite enthused.

“@AlYoungJr and I both became keenly aware of the unique opportunity we were in: in the tradition of Miles Davis  and Art Blakey - Blue Note Records , and even later @branfordmarsalisquartet  a decade or so ago, I became more attracted to the idea of who we could find that is a great player but also younger, someone who would be open to mentorship and growth.  @will.hazel  is a special talent, and he’ll continue to grow and refine, which will force Al and I to adjust in a musical way, to provide space.”

Asked what he hopes Echoes of Arrival will ultimately say about the Eric Byrd Trio, 2025 edition, about his artistry and approach and his ongoing development as an artist, Byrd asserts “I hope it says we have grown, we have honored the tradition and the artists we’ve been influenced by, and we’re very hopeful this record opens new doors for us. I am also very thankful that, as we enter our 25 year as a band, we are 25 times better than where we started. 

Byrd details his trio journey, “so I plan on riding this record until the wheels come off… or until we record the next one.”

To celebrate this amazing band and recording, please head to the Trio's YouTube link in the bio to view their newly released concert at the 2025 DC Jazz Festival.
