New Directions, the debut release of the Cross Border Trio, captures the eclectic transnational group exploring a broad field of acoustic jazz and improvised music. Mexican drummer Paquito Villa and California bassist Rob Thorsen and saxophonist Jason Robinson draw upon their diverse musical and social backgrounds to fashion a unique approach to the saxophone/bass/drums trio. New Directions captures the group’s repertoire after extensive performances in Mexico and the United States. The album features original compositions of Robinson, Thorsen, and others, serving as vehicles for solo and collective improvisation. The music has a natural flexibility that extends beyond traditional ideas about jazz form, frequently exchanging pre-determined structures for open-ended improvisation. This flexibility embodies the dynamic cultural and social improvisations of the borderlands of Mexico and the United States. As a transnational group, the Cross Border Trio seeks to capture the intense energy of the border region by developing a modern musical language.
