The Prism trio formed in 2022, initially as a duo between Eddy and Nicki, who met after years working as professional musicians in NYC. In their estimation, the divisions that box musical genres into different regions and eras is somewhat arbitrary. The trio strives to merge the works of creative geniuses without the confines of stylistic rigidity, echoing Ellington’s sentiment that the only two kinds of music are “good music and the other kind.”

Eddy has performed at major concert venues around the world, such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Blue Note, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, and Shanghai Opera House, in a variety of genres with leading artists, including Gloria Estefan, Roy Hargrove, Paquito D’Rivera, Oz Noy, James Moody, Fred Hersch, Itzhak Perelman, Zubin Mehta, and many more.

Nicki is a Steeplechase recording artist who has released six albums as a leader and recorded and performed with the likes of Francesco Mela, Corey Wilcox and Kassa Overall. While focusing on jazz, both Nicki and Eddy have also been strongly influenced by the works of classical composers.

Prism Trio is completed by inimitable drummer Kenneth Salters, an established star in the NYC jazz scene. Kenneth brings a quiet rhythmic fire to the trio and is equally attuned to feel and conceptual intricacies. Like the rest of the trio, Kenneth is a genre chameleon. With recent collaborations including Don Byron, Chris Potter, Rufus Reid, Aretha Franklin, Myron Walden, Elysian Fields and The Bloodsugars, Kenneth can swing with depth and emotion while bolstering the trio’s creative core.

In their commitment to music, The Prism trio summits the highest echelons of craft and innovation, bringing joy to listeners from all walks of life.
