In 2010, three San Francisco Bay Area musicians decided to create a rhythm section devoted to their own compositions and standards. After recording its studio demo in 2010, 3BE (Belasco, Bennett, and Berthiaume) began performing publically. Check out their new CD, "Three Musicians", under "The Bill Belasco Trio" name. |
