The Lost Trio

By Dan

The Lost Trio was formed in 1994 by Phillip Greenlief, Dan Seamans and Tom Hassett and stepped into existence with a steady gig every Thursday night at The Rose Pistola in San Francisco's North Beach district. The steady work lasted nearly two years, and was followed by a steady Sunday gig at Cato's Ale House in Oakland that lasted for nearly four years. The Lost Trio has a history of touring that has focused on venues up and down the West Coast, where they have also enjoyed many live radio appearances and in-store performances. The groups' repertoire began with a program of mainly standards by Thelonious Monk, Cole Porter, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus and others before veering into other sources. Since then, the group has fashioned a very unique collection of over 600 songs that range from composers as diverse as Hank Williams, Nino Rota, Carla Bley, Billy Stranhorn, Mel Tillis, The Grateful Dead, Giovanni Fusco, Angelo Badalamente, Larry Young, Irving Berlin and PJ Harvey; not to mention original compositions by Lost Trio members Phillip Greenlief and Dan Seamans. Check out their CD release party tonight at 8 p.m., $6–$10, 21 Grand, 416 25th St., (510) 444-7263.
