Susie Laraine, a well seasoned performer on tenor, flute, and alto flute, comes from the San Francisco area and has been playing in jazz groups in Humboldt County for 6 years. Shao Way Wu, acoustic bassist and long time Humboldt County resident, performs in many different musical styles and is well know for his high energy and exceptional talent. Brian Post, pianist, is a Professor of Music at HSU and plays jazz with the breadth and facility that brings Schubert, Debussy, and the scope of classical music into the jazz context.

These three musicians have combined to produce a unique trio. They play mainstream jazz compositions and standards, while working together to give the music a fresh sound. Their own arrangements open up the trio format to new textures and variations in the traditional functions of the instruments.
