Zero Gravity Trio - Zero Gravity Trio (2025) Hi-Res

The Zero Gravity Trio debut album is a dynamic instrumental group blending funk, jazz, fusion, and world music, known for their tight grooves, melodic interplay, and high-energy performances. Comprised of Tiago Coimbra (bass), Chris Diamond (guitar/keys), and Joe Taylor (drums), the trio seamlessly merges technical musicianship with deep rhythmic feel. Their music is heavily influenced by artists like Marcus Miller, John Scofield, Wayne Shorter, and Herbie Hancock, drawing from the funk-driven bass lines of Miller, the blues-infused jazz phrasing of Scofield, and the harmonic complexity of Shorter’s compositions. Their approach also reflects the fusion ethos of Weather Report, incorporating synth textures, intricate improvisation, and a balance between structure and spontaneity.

The trio’s live performances showcase their ability to push boundaries while staying rooted in groove and melody. They have performed at notable events such as the Cambridge Jazz Festival (2024), where they collaborated with trombonist Dennis Rollins MBE. Joe Taylor’s drumming, influenced by legends like Billy Cobham and Dennis Chambers, adds explosive energy, while Diamond’s keys and guitar work bring a fusion of jazz harmony and modern textures. Together, they create a sound that pays homage to jazz-fusion greats while carving out their own distinct identity. Whether in a festival setting or an intimate venue, the Zero Gravity Trio delivers a fresh and engaging take on contemporary jazz.
