THE GRAND TRINE
Melissa Hammer ~ trumpet
Orith Fogel ~ bass and vocals
Cat Toren ~ piano

A Grand Trine is created when three planets, each separated by 120 degrees, form a perfect triangle and when added together equal 360 degrees, making a full circle. In Astrology, it is the most harmonious configuration possible. The three women in the Grand Trine reflect this harmony and interact expressively in their clever arrangements of traditional jazz and latin standards. Acoustic bassist and vocalist, Orith Fogel is a dynamic and lively musician with a clear and expressive voice. Cat Toren is a strong improviser and a passionate and interactive pianist, and Melissa Hammer’s trumpet playing features her rich tone and strong melodic lines.  The Grand Trine is the perfect band for parties, weddings and other special events.
