Arcado String Trio

The Arcado String Trio was first an American, later international Jazz trio active from 1989 to 1993. The ensemble was formed by the cellist Hank Roberts, the bassist Mark Dresser and the violinist Mark Feldman. Roberts was later replaced by Ernst Reijseger. The Trio has not only performed as a chamber music ensemble, but also for a project by Manfred Niehaus (1991) with the WDR Rundfunkorchester Köln and as Double Trio together with the Trio de clarinettes[1] of Jacques Di Donato, Louis Sclavis and Armand Angster.

The Arcado String Trio drew inspiration from Billy Bang's String Trio of New York and the Kronos Quartet. In their chamber music they showed influences of Django Reinhardt as well as Jimi Hendrix.
