Canadian cellist George Crotty has forged his own exciting vocabulary, pushing the boundaries of the cello. He has performed as a soloist and bandleader in North America and Europe including at the Vancouver Jazz Festival, 21C Music Festival, Copenhagen Vinterjazz Festival, and New Directions Cello Festival. The George Crotty Trio makes music that is cinematic, collaborative, and conversational. Their fourth album “Heart Music” is a transatlantic travelogue of creative encounters within jazz, Hindustani raga, and chamber music.
