"The
capital K stands for the "knockout" accordion trio
of all times! I want to extend my feelings to all of you for
your creatively conceived, wonderful performances. I truly enjoy
the interwound arrangements of the many accordion famous selections;
chosen for each special occasion. I look forward to your appearances
with a "What now?" attitude to be flawlessly presented.
You deserve a mountain of applause."

"It has been my pleasure to hear a variety of chamber groups
from all over the world for many years, and I am confident The
"K" Trio ranks among the best. The three accordionists
play with musicianship rarely displayed by musicians of any
kind. They also convey a new image of their instrument to everyone
fortunate enough to hear them. There are no stars in this group;
each person is an artist performer with technique to spare.
Their large concert repertoire is comprehensive and exciting.
It will appeal to audiences of all kinds. The charm and ease
with which they communicate enhance all of their performances.
I hope many more people have the opportunity to enjoy their
music making in the near future."

"This
trio comes as a real refreshment. Consisting of two accordions
and a bass accordion, this ensemble performs light style music,
light classical as well as popular style. Technically competent,
tonally clear and crisp, their performance is spirited, emotional
and involving. As an ensemble, they achieved great balance and
togetherness which is a clear sign of high professional ability.
Their repertoire is very various and entertaining. My favorite
track would be "Casey Jones" where the train effect
is absolutely superb, and I cannot fault it from beginning to
end."

"The
entire CD is impeccable! First of all, you have achieved great
variety in the selections chosen. All of your interpretations
are beyond reproach as well as having executed complete accuracy
in all performances. Of course the 'Creme de la Creme' would
be the DANSE MACABRE. . . The three of you are to be congratulated
in producing a very fine CD."

Playing arrangements that vary from classical ensembles to broadway
favorites, this accoridon trio is well-rehearsed and extremely
well-balanced. As if the smooth harmonies and enchanting melodies

"The
"K" Trio . . . where technic, intelligence, emotion
and talent form a perfect marriage of artistry! The choice of
selections are always exciting and in good taste. The classics
are well-respected in every detail . . . with authentic arrangements,
and a new and delightful sound. When I first heard The "K"
Trio, I wanted MORE!"
