OM Trio To Reunite For Three San Francisco Shows in February
 OM Trio |
Three years after playing its last show, the OM Trio returns for three special performances in its adopted hometown of San Francisco in February 2008. Brian Felix (keys), Pete Novembre (bass) and Ilya Stemkovsky (drums) will assemble for short-lived active duty to open two shows for their friends Umphrey's McGee at San Francisco's legendary Fillmore on February 15 and 16 2008 and headline a two set show at the Boom Boom Room on the 17.
OM Trio shares a special kinship with Chicago's Umphrey's McGee, having shared the stage with them over 30 times, including swapping members for sit-ins with both bands, and collaborating on improvised avant garde masterworks such as "Sludge and Deth."
OM Trio played nearly 1000 shows in the six years it toured the United States and released several albums of original material, including 2003's acclaimed Globalpostioningrecord. The OM Trio garnered press from the Village Voice, JazzTimes Magazine and won the 2001 SF Guardian Reader's Poll for Best Local Jazz Group. The post-OM Trio lives of the three members have included higher education, various musical ventures, career opportunities and assimilation into the workforce.
