the pulsar triyo began in 2004 when Pulsar Li and Eric Bishop (then freshmen members of the Duke Jazz Ensemble) started to apply the traditional and modern jazz concepts to other music genres out there. The addition of Adam Lord on bass in 2005 helped to diversify their music even more. Although the triyo's original compositions, which range from new jazz to latin-jam to funk, serve as true representations of their musical tastes, there is much to be said on behalf of their interpretations of pre-existing music also. Be it bebopping Britney's "toxic," or funkifying a Tiffany tune from the 80's, this modern jazz piano trio tries to keep covers as original as their own compositions.

the pulsar triyo is broad in their musical influences. Jazz colors of Brad Mehldau, jam grooves of Medeski Martin and Wood, unique creativity from the Bad Plus, and musical ingenuity reminiscent of Radiohead all help to define the pulsar triyo's contemporary and ambitious music. Indeed, the pulsar triyo aims to make your stay an enjoyable one by keeping inventive music on the top of their to-do list.
