For over twenty years, The Eric Byrd Trio (EBT), pianist/vocalist Eric Byrd, bassist Bhagwan Khalsa, and drummer Alphonso Young, Jr., have traveled the world as enthusiastic ambassadors of jazz. Rooted in swing and bebop, The Trio also embraces gospel and the blues as core elements of their expansive performance style.
The band showcases and explores a wide range of blues — from its origins in the Delta to the spread north and its subsequent influence on rock and folk music in the United States and Great Britain from the 1960s to the present.
