Box 3:

The trio features Oestreicher and Peake away from their acoustic instruments (saxes & drums respectively). Instead, they sit at their controls of their electronic gadgetry while, Albert, their ‘3rd of 3”, performs acoustically and into Peake’s software instrument, catalyzing a synergistic effect that yields a robust and relevant body of musical data.

Justin Peake has performed on drums and/or computers in a variety of contexts across the United States. Justin is a student of cognition and music making. He produces solo albums under his own name and the alias Beautiful Bells as well as
designing interactive multimedia art.

Dan Oestreicher is a member of the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra and The Other Planets and has appeared with musicians such as Irvin Mayfield, James Singleton, Michael Ray, Ralph Alessi, Randy Brecker, Herlin Riley, and Sir Earl Toon of Kool and the Gang.

Jeff Albert is a trombonist and improviser based in New Orleans. He leads the Jeff Albert Quintet and co-leads the Lucky 7s with Jeb Bishop. Lakefront Digital released the Lucky 7s first CD, Farragut, in September of 2006, in conjunction with their Chicago Jazz Fest performance. Other recent recordings include One, a quartet CD of original compositions, and Duets Vol. 1, which is a recording of improvised duets with guitarist Ed Barrett. Jeff can also be heard with George Porter Jr. and the Runnin’ Pardners, Michael Ray and the Cosmic Krewe, the Naked Orchestra, the New Orleans New Music Ensemble, and Quantum Blender.
