The Sea Trio are a 3-piece (Ephraim Asili - synth/beats, Andy Schwartz - keys/bells, Jennie Portney - effects processed clarinet) electronic/jazz band from Philadelphia, PA. The band formed in Fall 2006 and has since played regularly in Philly and New York, often with guest horn players from the Sun Ra Arkestra. We have opened twice for Black Moth Super Rainbow, and played at the 2008 Kimmel Center for Performing Arts Summer Solstice Festival.



Ephraim Asili and Andy Schwartz formed the band with a shared taste for early-70s electric Miles Davis albums & meditative jazz(Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane etc.) The music now combines that sound with elements of ambient electronic, and free jazz with an emphasis on the music being raw and live, with every show being almost completely improvised. In one set the music can go from minimalist electronic beats to intense washes of rhythm and sound.
