The Chris Trinidad Trio featuring Bob Crawford (piano on 8/3, 8/10, and 8/24), Kevin Amos (drums on 8/3, 8/10, 8/31), Cy Thompson (drums on 8/24), and Erika Oba (piano on 8/31), plays Chris's songbook featuring tunes he has written over the past 20 years and found on Iridium Records releases Certain Times, Chant Triptych II, and Common Themes.Filipino-Canadian and San Francisco Bay Area-based musician, teacher, and learner Chris Trinidad has fallen into the place where everything is music. Originally from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, his relationship with music grew through exploring various instruments beginning with the voice, then the piano, followed by the bass guitar, and finally the drum set with little detours in the world of percussion and forays with the guitar.Chris's formal education includes undergraduate training in Jazz Studies and Secondary Education, graduate study in the fields of Philosophy and Sociology of Music Education and Theological and Liturgical Studies, and doctoral work in Educational and Interdisciplinary Leadership.His compositions take inspiration from jazz musicians such as Ralph Towner, Pat Metheny, Bill Evans, Jack DeJohnette, Brad Turner, Chris Gestrin, and Chris Tarry as well as disparate genres including Cuban Timba, Original Pilipino Music, British Progressive Rock, and Gregorian Chant.All of these seemingly disparate disciplines, inspirations, and interests help to inform the music that he makes. He has discerned that the core purpose of his music is to explore the intersections of his identity and upbringing, while combining these into musical conversations with his current experiences and curiousities.He currently divides his time between creating music, developing high school students into compassionate human beings, and working on defeating his addiction to improvising excessively in the saddest of all keys ...
