The Steve Howe Trio features Steve Howe (guitar), Dylan Howe (drums) and Ross Stanley (hammond organ). In May 2007 the trio first enthralled audiences with original Steve Howe compositions, jazz, blues, solo guitar and Yes numbers, all specially arranged for trio format. Following that warmly received five show mini-tour the trio performed a further run of dates in June 2008. For nearly 40 years, Steve Howe has been at the forefront of rock music as a model and inspiration for other guitarists and musicians, perhaps best known as a member of the progressive rock group Yes and latterly in the reformed Asia. Steve's new trio project with his son Dylan Howe, rightly acclaimed as one of the best drummers of his generation and keyboard maestro Ross Stanley on Hammond organ, is in marked contrast to his previous work and this truly masterful combination is now immortalised on CD. The music creates a 'friendly tension between Steve Howe's compositions and Yes lineage and the hard bop jazz of Dylan and Ross. A stellar encore achieved a balance between the progressive rock dynamics of the original and the jazz styling of the trio.' - H. Potts
