O’s Notes: The Odd Trio is Marc Gilley (sax), Todd Mueller (d) and Brian Smith (g). They are classically trained musicians who met at the University of Georgia, became friends and formed their creative trio to explore improvisational music. They all contribute original compositions to a diverse set of tunes pulling their vast experiences together. The music is soft pop/rock fusion with tentacles that extend across several boundaries. Among the best are the syncopated “Information Fatigue”, the funky “Ricio de Mare” with a wired guitar solo and the spicy opener “Raucous Bacchus”.
