Our Take

The String Trio of New York's latest album "Area Code 212" is a delightful cocktail of jazz, funk, and avant-garde influences that will transport you straight to the bustling streets of the Big Apple.

From the moment the trio's nimble fingers start plucking and bowing their instruments, you can't help but be drawn into their infectious energy. Each track is like a mini adventure, taking you on a wild ride through the sounds and rhythms of the city that never sleeps.

The musicianship on display here is truly top-notch, with each member of the trio showcasing their incredible skill and versatility. Whether it's the frenetic energy of "Times Square Shuffle" or the laid-back groove of "Central Park West," there's something for everyone on this album.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the hauntingly beautiful "Empire State of Mind," which perfectly captures the awe-inspiring majesty of one of New York's most iconic landmarks. It's a perfect example of the trio's ability to blend emotion and technical prowess into a single, captivating piece of music.

Overall, "Area Code 212" is a must-listen for any fan of jazz or experimental music. With its eclectic mix of styles and impeccable musicianship, it's a testament to the enduring power of music to transport us to another time and place. So grab a slice of pizza, hail a yellow cab, and let the String Trio of New York take you on a musical journey through the heart of the city that never sleeps.
