Three of Seven
Šmoldas – Zerna – Simpson
Monday 04/08/2025 from 21:00
Three of the seven continents of our planet contributed one musician each to the creation of the international jazz trio Three of Seven: Europe is represented by Czech guitarist Libor Šmoldas, distant Australia by double bassist Sam Zerna, a native of Adelaide, and North America by drummer Jesse Simpson originally from California. What connects all three is the jazz mecca of New York, the city where Sam Zerna lives, Jesse Simpson lived and studied at the Manhattan School of Music, and where Libor Šmoldas regularly goes to perform and make records. The trio blends jazz standards with original compositions, marked by improvisation, musical joy, and instrumental mastery. Their diverse cultural and musical roots create a rich, harmonious sound grounded in jazz tradition and open expression. Šmoldas, a leading Czech jazz guitarist, has performed worldwide and collaborated with top musicians like George Mraz and Jeff Ballard. Zerna, now New York-based, has toured extensively and worked with artists such as Will Vinson and Mike Moreno. Simpson, a Manhattan School of Music graduate, has played with Joe Lovano and John Abercrombie and now resides in Europe.
