Profound Sound Trio "Opus De Life" With: Andrew Cyrille, Paul Dunmall, Henry
Grimes
Long time associates
Andrew Cyrille and Henry Grimes team up with U. K. saxophonist and bagpipist Paul Dunmall for an all out tour de force of
jazz improvisation, recorded live at the 2008 Vision Festival. The Profound Sound Trio begins with a fiery
intensity that only builds as the rallying crowd encourages the trio to new heights of creativity. While
the music is firmly rooted in the musical exploration of the free jazz movement of the 60’s, the inventive tenacity
of these three musicians brings the music into the future.

crafted songs. From frantic playing to oddly moving songs, “Julu Twine” moves through a wide
range of emotions while firmly declaring a singular vision. The music on “Julu Twine” is best
