The CC3: From Airports to Spaceships

Following last year’s debut at Memorial Hall, The CC3’s (Chris Comer Trio) return engagement will feature a unique inspired arrangement of the landmark ambient piece MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS by Brian Eno. The evening will conclude with an original collaboration by all three CC3 members called MUSIC FOR SPACESHIPS, juxtaposing the styles of the meditative Eno composition and the jazzy groovy “outer space music” of the Comer trio. This concert is in-part a tribute to Cincinnati musician and radio legend Ron Esposito, who has performed MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS and collaborated with The CC3 many times. 

 Last year’s CC3 performance in March 2023 at Memorial Hall was recorded and documented at https://cc3music.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-memorial-hall 

 The CC3 originally performed Eno’s MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS live at the CVG Airport in July, 2021 as part of an ArtsWave airport music series with special guest Ron Esposito on Tibetan Singing Bowls, and can be heard and viewed at  https://www.chriscomerradio.com/Music%20for%20Airports.mp4 

Featuring Chris Comer (piano, Fender Rhodes Electric Piano), Michael G. Ronstadt (cello) and Bart Foster (drums)
