Chris Poulsen Trio
The Chris Poulsen Trio is an intensely energetic jazz/fusion combo. Since forming in 2004, the group has released two full-length albums, and performed to enthusiastic audiences at events such as the Nepal Jazz Jatra (Katmandu), Queensland Music Festival, Valley Jazz festival, Parachute Festival (NZ) and the Australian Gospel Music festival, as well as residencies in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley. With an exciting, animated stage presence and an openness to spontaneous improvisation, the group performs their original tunes, and some re-worked jazz standards. Though only an instrumental three piece, their music is full of dynamic colour, adventurous aggression and lots of fun, appealing to a wide range of listeners.
