Chris McNulty and the Magic Trio perform in Healdsburg as part of tour that features this trio for the first time on West Coast. The Magic Trio is Chris McNulty on vocals, keyboard and percussion; Andrei Kondakov on piano, vocals and percussion; and Paul Bollenback on guitar and percussion.

Australian-born but resident in NYC since 1988, Chris McNulty's demonstrates a finely honed improvisational sensibility delivered with an intense depth of feeling. Long a major jazz singer who has in recent times finally started to gain recognition for her talent McNulty's is one of the foremost singer-composers on the scene today. McNulty's intonation and articulation are commanding and provide a preview for the level of musical excellence and creative artistry. The Magic Trio features her versatile, soothing, swimming voice along with her writing and arranging skills and the writing and arranging chops of Paul Bollenback plus his excellent guitar playing.

Earlier this year the trio performed for three weeks throughout Russia, including appearances in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and the Ukraine at the first ever Kharkov Jazz festival. They will continue on to London's premier jazz club, Pizza Express, following their first ever tour together on the West Coast of the USA.

McNulty's most recent release, Whispers the Heart, has garnered major accolades from the international press and radio as well as being voted one of the top ten releases of 2006 by Jazz Journalists Association's (JJA) Nancy Barrell. Bollenback's Invocation remained on the Jazz Week Charts for several months in 2007. As first call guitarist for such jazz great as Joey DeFrancesco, Gary Bartz, and Steve Gadd, Bollenback's range and impressive discography speak for themselves. Multi faceted pianist, composer, vocalist, and percussionist Andrei Kondokov is a major jazz star in his native Russia, and currently co-leads the band 5 Corners as well as appearing alongside Russian saxophonist Igor Butman in concert halls and clubs throughout Russia, Europe, and the States. McNulty, Bollenback, and Kondakov together weave a constantly surprising and fresh improvised sound that has been described as being "like children playing".

The Magic Trio in concert for the first time on the West Coast is a performance not to be missed!
