Tripataka was formed in 2013 and comprises:
Adrian Sherriff – bass trombone, percussion, voice
Jonathan Dimond – electric bass guitars, percussion, voice
Adam King – drums, voice.
Tripataka performs original compositions by the band members and unique arrangements of jazz repertoire.
"There may be only three musicians on this recording, but their combined sound is as powerful and expressive as a great big band. Polymetric drum grooves full of deep funky soul; electric bass lines that float like butterflies and sting like bees; trombone melodies singing, soaring, and diving - Tripataka’s ensemble sound is astringent, tough, and uncompromising - yet the loose authenticity of folk tradition saturates even the most complex pieces. Composition and improvisation interweave seamlessly, and the total effect is exhilarating - watch the movie inside your head while you listen, because the cinematography is terrific.”
