NoCoasters Jazz Trio

Introduction: Nocoasters is an innovative San Francisco jazz piano trio, available for public performances, private events, and studio sessions. NoCoasters is an innovative jazz trio comprised of three top-call musicians who all escaped their Midwestern (i.e. no coast) upbringing for a life in the San Francisco bay area: Lee Bloom (piano), Brandon Essex (bass) and Carrie Jahde (drums). They take on original compositions, jazz, Latin, New Orleans, pop and even country standards and reinvent them in ever changing ways. Their approach is highly improvisational, playful, and communicative. At times they are joined by a horn player to form the Nocoasters Quartet.
