The Eric Byrd Trio’s mission is to play splendidly within the broad & rich jazz tradition, taking a rigorous, modern approach to standards and original compositions. These true jazz ambassadors have performed internationally for well over two decades… and counting, exciting audiences across the globe. They are former Kennedy Center/U.S. State Department Jazz Ambassadors. That prestigious designation provided the EBT with opportunities to tour their brand of 21st Century Swing to parts of South America, Central America, the Caribbean, Eastern & Western Europe, and the Middle East, including major events like the historic Montreux Jazz Festival.
