The Chuck Cross Trio The Future is Today - Red Note Jazz

The Future Is Today captures a moment when optimism, invention, and modern life seemed to move in perfect sync. The Chuck Cross Trio leans into that spirit with a forward-looking jazz record rooted in clarity, momentum, and melodic confidence. Across fifteen pieces, the trio explores motion, architecture, time, and human curiosity; music that feels purposeful without ever losing its sense of joy.

Piano lines glide with precision, bass figures anchor the music with warmth, and drums push everything gently forward. The album balances classic trio interplay with a modern sensibility, suggesting a future shaped not by excess, but by imagination and craft. Each track feels like a snapshot of progress in motion; bright, thoughtful, and alive with possibility.
