Drummer/Composer Tyler Hornby introduces a new project with the Tyler Hornby B3 Trio and the release of 'Locus'. The music is filled with hard core swing and funk grooves with the guitar/B3/drums configuration. Hornby was inspired to write for a small group setting utilizing the warm tones from the B3 and the soaring melodic sound scapes of the guitar. From soothing ballads to high energy jazz/funk based music this new group is full of fresh sounds yet enriched in the jazz tradition. The album features Hornby - drums, Aaron Young - guitar & NYC organist Pat Bianchi on B3 organ.

For as long as he can remember, Tyler Hornby has been on a musical journey. He encountered jazz early on while growing up in Alberta, living in a house that doubled as a rehearsal space for his guitar-playing father, his bass-playing brother and big band singer grandmother. He started drumming at age 10, honed his artistry in high school big bands and experimental jazz combos, and has blossomed into one of the country's most innovative and sought-after drummers.

Hornby has also become a gifted composer by expanding his musical tastes, studying the craft with Grammy Award-winning pianist Chip Stephens, and immersing himself in the work of other great players from all over the planet. Having performed and composed on many album projects, 'Locus' is Tyler's third solo project release.
