Triecratops is a Jazz sextet with three horns (hence the name) that performs melodic modern jazz. We play original music and feature a variety of woodwind tone colors. Our compositions range in style from straight-ahead jazz to lyrical waltzes to extended Asian-influenced pieces. The band was founded in 1986. Members of Triceratops have appeared or recorded with the New Klezmer Trio, Phillipe Kahn, Jimmy Witherspoon, Full Faith and Credit Big Band, Celia Malheiros, and numerous and varied other artists. The band has appeared at venues throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. The CD received national airplay and international distribution.
