Gene Perla’s GO Trio is listed among the Professional performers and ensembles that will appear at the Inaugural Jazz Education Network (JEN) Conference in St. Louis, MO.

Anchored by bassist Gene Perla (Chick Corea, Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Woody Herman, Elvin Jones, Chuck Mangione, Joni Mitchell, Buddy Rich, Sonny Rollins, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, and others), GO TRIO is a new jazz group dedicated to the performance of jazz standards, the Great American Songbook, and a growing body of original music. Pianist Sean Gough and drummer Josh Brown round out a trio that exemplifies the concept of collective improvisation.

Even as they mine the most familiar tunes, each musician’s effortless attentiveness to the other guarantees a vital and spontaneous approach to music. In their short history, GO TRIO has secured multiple performances at leading jazz venues (Deer Head Inn, Chris’ Jazz Cafe, Trumpets, Twins, Lafayette Bar), establishments featuring jazz (Allentown Art Museum, Sands Casino, Porter’s Pub, Starfish Brasserie, Shula’s Steakhouse), and music festivals (Musikfest, Lafayette College, LPGA).
