A great new CD of all original music celebrating the beauty of the earth featuring Chuck Marohnic, piano, Fred Forney, tpt, Dwight Kilian, bass and Dom Moio, drums on the new Ravenswave label for 2005.

"Truly beautiful music by all the musicians and Chuck's best work to date."
David Friesen

This CD documents the music of three trios that I have had the pleasure of playing with over the years. All the trios show sensitive interaction and great chemistry. These are people that I found unbelievably easy to play with. The constantly give of themselves to the dictates of the music and they do it without reservation. The combined synergistic effect cannot be overlooked...

"Opening the album with a beautifully thoughtful and introspective piano line, met by whispering upright bass, Chuck Marohnic's album "Trios" takes the mind and heart into exquisite worlds of lush, dripping harmonies and earthy rhythmic footing. As the album moves on and awakens like a spring morning, every track is rich with detail and crafted with attention to subtlety, making use of and milking every note for its unique purpose. With a shuffley and meditative quality reminiscent of Bill Evans and Brad Mehldau, this album casts quite an enchanting spell over its lucky listeners. Bravo!"

"Chuck Marohnic's new CD 'Trios' is a beautiful and thoughtful collection of trio music...Chuck Marohnic plays with such animated, heartfelt feeling...there is a very stirring resonance in each and every note he plays...a joy and clarity that really uplifts the spirit!"
David Friesen

"This latest offering by Mr. Marohnic reflects his ongoing commitment to interactive integrity. The trio format is realized only when all parties are fully attentive and responsive to the topic at hand, regardless of the instrument that introduces it. In these three separate settings, the integrity stands tall to the music."
Vince Maggio, Emeritus Prof of Jazz Piano, U of Miami
