What we do know:  this is a comfortable, casual setting where we can experiment and surprise your ears, and Jessica can make your taste buds and tummy happy.

“…Trio Tritticali have just released their new Issue # 1, one of the most gripping, intelligent, richly eclectic albums of recent years. Drawing on elements as diverse as Egyptian dance vamps, the baroque, bossa nova, tango and European Romantic chamber music, they blend those styles together seamlessly and imaginatively for a bracingly intricate sound that’s uniquely their own.”

“…This is one of those albums where every time you listen to it, you’ll discover something new – you can get lost in this music. With compositions like this, it won’t be long before Trio Tritticali will be playing big stages like Symphony Space; for the moment, you can catch them at low-key Brooklyn brunch spot Linger Cafe…”

Tritticali recording our new CD

In late April, Trio Tritticali jumped into a car and drove to Trick Dog Recording, in scenic Glen Spey, New York to begin work on our new CD. Paul Mitchell, engineer extraordinaire, had recorded two of Invert’s releases as well as Leanne’s solo CD a few years ago, so we are sure we are in good hands. We’re now in the process of editing and mixing the CD with Paul, and we’re hoping to have a finished product sometime this summer. Stayed tuned!

In this video we’re all decked out in formal, classical-like garb—not our usual attire at brunch! We hope you all can come to our next show at Linger Cafe and Lounge on February 27, but we probably won’t be disguised as a classical string trio. You can expect our eclectic mix of musical genres, accompanied by yummy brunch fare prepared by proprietress, Jessica Pichardo.
