The Media Noche Trio formed in early 2010 at Indiana University’s famed Jacob’s School of Music. Playing together for several years as part of groups like The Latin Jazz Collective and El Fuego Lento, this fiery three-piece was heavily influenced by the music of Latin America and the teaching and mentorship of master percussionist Michael Spiro. The jazz-rooted keyboard/bass/drum trio interweaves many genres in the live performance setting, and in addition to many originals, applies a unique and often intense Latin/Funky flavor to all sorts of standards.

MNT recently finished recording their first album featuring nine original tracks, and you can catch them at several venues and universities during their Midwest/Southeast tour through March of 2011.
