George Muribus - Trio '77 (1977/2025) [Official Digital Download]

On the cusp of jazz fusion’s evolution, 'Trio '77' stands as a testament to George Muribus’s unique vision and voice in a rapidly changing musical landscape. Each track carries a spirit of exploration, as the trio navigates through intricate rhythms and harmonic complexities, making it clear that these musicians weren’t just playing notes – they were shaping an experience.

"Ambling into the Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco in late March to catch George Muribus trio recording session during an academic quarter break from my college professorial gig, I landed into a welcoming nest of friends who were also there to add to the affair.

Basking in the warm solar and sonar rays of the Muribus Trio were guitarist Michael Howell and pianist Flip Nunez. Of George, Michael was quick to comment, ""He has the opposite problem of most musicians; that is, he has absolutely no problem playing anything. He's so deep musically, you have to be on your toes or he'll leave you. George forces you to create. That's what makes music happen.""

Flip Nunez, a pianist I've dug for over fifteen years is an astute and penetrating observer of the idiom. His assessment of George is based on a close relationship of many years. The duality of the intellectual/intuitive aspects of George Muribus reflect evidence based on experience. George and Flip worked together for about four years as a duo before and after an association with Azteca. ""We started because we couldn't afford a bassist, so we played the bass line for each other on the piano. And it was at that time Coke Escovedo recruited us into Azteca."" They also played in a variety of other contexts in the post-Azteca period.
