Album Description
Chicago’s piano man returns by request with a follow up to his highly successful CD from 2001, "Trio City," with "Trio City 2, The Return of The Trio." This is Mr. Surace’s 4th Southport CD, and the collection of tracks brings the classic fire of jazz trio into the musical realm of the 21st century.

The evolution of the modern jazz player is laced in the dexterity that Surace commands and displays. Wide block chords mesh with romantic melodic lines, dissonance skirts a dance with harmony, and what we hear is what we see, nine feet of piano perfection. Check out Surace the composer on track 4 "Image." His fingers trace the heart of an internal melody. Hear the elliptical melody within "Softly In A Morning Sunrise." To Swing is to be Surace.
