Dave Kane Trio

"A model of just how good a mainstream trio can be”—Cadence Magazine

"Here is ample evidence of a musician and composer who is thinking about where he wants to take his music, rather than simply relying on laying truckloads of technique on listeners as the sole means for winning our attention.”—AllAboutJazz.com

Recorded on 1/13/22

His more notable recordings include the self-produced Glom On To This  of all original compositions and arrangements. Steve Herberman’s Ideals from 2009, Tony Martucci’s Life In Hand features pianist Marc Copland, three of Tom’s compositions, and was voted by the Washington Post among the best of 2011.

Drummer Dominic Smith has been a fixture on the jazz scene for more than 30 years, playing with the cream of the crop of local players and visiting musicians from New York and elsewhere. Dominic has appeared as a sideman on more than 50 recordings.
