Travis Anderson Trio: The Music of George Gershwin

“They swing like there’s no tomorrow.”
– Jazz Police travis

The Travis Anderson Trio celebrates the music of George Gershwin, perhaps the greatest American composer. At twenty-five years old (and in the span of just two weeks), he wrote “Rhapsody In Blue.” This piece turned the musical world upside down by bringing a jazz sound to the concert hall. Furthermore, from “Summertime” to “An American In Paris”, Gershwin’s influence has been felt for over 100 years. The Trio celebrates his monumental contributions to Broadway, movies, the concert hall, and perhaps most robustly, jazz.

With energy and chops to burn, The Travis Anderson Trio brings fresh interpretations to standards and more – from Chopin to Mario Bros – they swing like there’s no tomorrow while saluting the great trios of yesterday.

Travis Anderson has been delighting audiences with his dazzling piano technique and inventive arrangements since 2003. Additionally, he has taken his unique piano style all over the metro area and beyond.

Steve Pikal is one of the most in-demand bassists in the region. Adept at many genres, his joyous stage presence and buoyant playing add an exciting element to every show.

Nathan Norman is a first-call drummer in the Twin Cities. Also, he has collaborated with many of the area’s finest artists, including Bruce Henry, Debbie Duncan, Charmin Michelle, and more.
