With infectious energy and an irrepressible enthusiasm, the Frank Dupree Trio straddles the borders between classical music and jazz. Combining a conscientious approach to classical masterpieces with the flair and fluidity of jazz improvisation, the Frank Dupree Trio delights in the limitless variety of musical genres and revels in finding the spaces in between. Their repertoire includes original compositions as well as their own arrangements, and spans a musical field extending from Beethoven, Ravel, and Nikolai Kapustin to songs by Kurt Weill, George Gershwin, and Leonard Bernstein, and all the way to jazz standards by icons such as Duke Ellington and Chick Corea. International concert tours have taken the Frank Dupree Trio to various European countries and South Korea, and concert projects and CD recordings have resulted in collaborations with renowned orchestras such as the SWR Symphonieorchester, the SWR Big Band, the Stuttgarter Philharmoniker, and the Sinfonieorchester Wuppertal.
