The Tiny Bell Trio was trumpeter Dave Douglas's avantish '90s downtown New York group, and this is their debut.

First outing for acclaimed trumpet player's cut-loose downtown group, playing original compositions with a Monkish tinge plus Weill, Kosma and Tailleferre. Several pieces demonstrate a unique take on traditional music of the former Yugoslavia, combining Balkan and rock or classical elements with jazz. One of New York's most remarkable trios. Audiophile analogue recording.
