I had the good fortune last night to see Joe Trio perform in Dawson Creek. I didn't know anything about them aside from that they were a piano trio (and I thought that meant they all played piano!) and that they strive for diversity and versatility in their repertoire.
My sister and a couple of friends joined me and we had a wonderful time. The trio started with a version of a Led Zeppelin song, which made me wish I had brought my husband, and their Sound of Moosick medley and The Maltese Goose (think film noir meets nursery rhymes) made me wish I'd brought the kids!
But for me the highlight was their performance of Tom Anderson's Da Slockit Light, which is a scottish tune and breathtakingly beautiful. I literally felt like I should be holding my breath throughout the song to hear each note suspended in the air. And after the concert, I went straight home and visited their web site, and when I googled Da Slockit Light, I found a YouTube video of Joe Trio performing it! So glad, because it wasn't on the CD they offered for sale.
