TOBY KOENIGSBERG TRIO 'Drift'
NINJAZZ 1401
Toby Koenigsberg (piano)

“Drift”, the new album from the critically acclaimed Toby Koenigsberg Trio, pays homage to the late indy-rock icon Elliott Smith. Three unique arrangements of Smith’s music share the stage with three originals inspired by Smith’s uncanny gift for melody and beautiful harmonies. The members of the trio are dedicated followers of Smith's music, as well as being immersed in the modern jazz scene. Like Smith, all three hail from the state of Oregon. A beautiful and simple statement, this album can be loved by anyone, and has endless intrigue and surprise for the jazzophile. Drift is an album of sublime and transcendent music.
“Koenigsberg likes to drive from the keyboard with a convincing aura that says, we are here to deliver an exotic message that you’ve never heard before...”
— Jim Santella, Cadence
“Wonderful touch...”
— Marian McPartland
