The third album from the piano-less tenor sax trio QOW Trio, The Rule Of Three is a confident and fully realized statement from an intergenerational unit that has grown deeply into its own voice. Released on Whirlwind Recordings in 2026 and recorded at The Fish Factory in Willesden, the album draws on deep jazz tradition while refusing to be hemmed in by it, demonstrating the never-ending possibilities of this open, organic instrumentation.
The programme is cleverly varied, ranging from free improvisation to a woozy waltz reading of Strayhorn's "Lush Life," a calypso original, and a softly rendered take on "Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling" to close. Throughout, the trio — recorded and mixed by Benedic Lamdin and mastered by Max Gilkes — channels their shared love of Ellington alongside gloriously unpredictable original compositions, making The Rule Of Three a rich and rewarding listen from start to finish.
