Trio Mopmu
“With all the pizzazz, agility and vitality of a Bulgarian wedding band, yet complementing it with careful sensitivity and finesse, Trio Mopmu always brings conviction and superb artistry to the table. This twelve-track gem, “Torta Bulgarska,” weaves and waltzes through jazz and folk idioms, always holding onto its own identity and yet with the open-minded freedom to change that definition at will. There is a solid presence of musicianship and artistic command whether it be a slow, haunting number or one that strictly calls out for a dance floor. Brilliance abounds.” – CDBaby
Trio Mopmu is Ryan Francesconi on tabura, Bill Lanphir on electric bass and Bryan Bowman on drums.
Trio Mopmu also features the exquisite voice of Lily Storm, an American singer specializing in traditional world music who combines centuries-old vocal technique with an atmospheric, modern aesthetic.

loose • wig (n)
An exceptionally uninhibited performer; a way-out musician. One whose wig has flipped beyond the norm.
- The Guinness Dictionary of Jazz
Loose Wig is:
Fen Fajan – sax
Sam Bevan – bass
Michael Abraham – guitar
Bryan Bowman – drums
“Loose Wig Jazz has provided their original and standard jazz melodies during our annual Toast of the Town San Francisco event at the War Memorial Opera House for the past three years. Their engaging performance, which took place on two different levels of the Opera House, added immeasurably to the ambiance of the event, and to its success in general. Ben and his team are not just excellent, creative musicians but also very professional, and a pleasure to work with.”
