Ken, Tom and Susan were mutually smitten on their first serendipitous gig together – and so, trio WoRK was born! Following their debut album in 2018, “trio WoRK”, comes their 2nd album, “Dancing in the Dark” , releasing in 2023.

This recording marks Trio WoRK’s fifth year as a working trio. Playing throughout the pandemic in backyards and on patios, they “danced in the dark”! With an expanded repertoire and deepened synergy, they headed into the studio shortly after lockdown eased, resulting in this new Trio WoRK recording, Dancing in the Dark – an eclectic and engaging mix of standards and more obscure tunes.
