Trumpeter Josh Deutsch and guitarist Nico Soffiato have worked together since 2006 and perform regularly in the New York City area, also touring extensively and giving master classes and workshops in the US and Italy.

This January, they’ve joined up with drummer Ken Mastrogiovanni for a short West Coast tour to include concert dates and workshops, kicking off their Bay Area segment with this show at Bird & Beckett.

Deutsch and Soffiato met in Boston, and over the years, the musical relationship born through this collaboration has resulted in a set of music composed specifically for their ensembles, including many co-written originals and reinvented arrangements of music from jazz, classical and popular worlds. The music ranges from electronic loops to entirely acoustic pieces, balancing carefully crafted compositions with space for improvisations and interaction.

Their third album, “Redshift” was released in 2020 on the label nusica.org and features drummers Allison Miller and Dan Weiss. The upcoming album, scheduled for early 2025 release will feature drummers Dave King, Rudy Royston and Bram Kincheloe.

“…There’s a comfort level in their exchanges that makes this music a pleasure to behold, regardless of complexity or intensity.” – D. Bilawsky, All About Jazz
