Triologic, these are three instrumentalists, three composers, three jazz musicians who do not fit in any category. Yet to characterize the music of this group, the term “Melodic Groove Jazz” has been created, to describe the common concept. Without stylistic limits, Triologic’s music has absorbed all possible influences and surprises the audience by their amazing diversity. Since the band was founded in 2000, the third album “Music” was released in 2015.
