Paduco ain't your Grand-pappie's bass-less saxophone trio. They take what the Paul Motian Trio did, grab it by the suspenders and teach it to base jump. With influences as varied as Brad Shepik, Andrew Hill, and Evan Parker, Paduco mates raw firepower with the controlled chaos of odd meter whirlpools and the tenderness of a proud papa penguin. At the beginning of a tune they'll make you want to punch your best friend in the mouth. By the end they'll make you feel bad about it.

Their collective resumes include performances with Tony Malaby, Steve Lehman, Billy Hart, Michael Formanek, Dave Ballou, and Ches Smith as well as time studying with Malaby, Chris Speed, George Garzone, Brad Shepik, and Mary Halvorson.
