They are back again. The Russo Alberts Jazz Trio, three veteran musicians who like to call themselves the Bad Boys of jazz.

Don Russo has paid far more than the usual dues in his journey as a jazz bassist. Music has always been his life's quest, from his first vocal stage performances at the age of five and his first stint in a band as a guitarist at age ten through his permanent connection with the bass, formed at age eighteen. His major influences include Percy Heath, Charles Mingus, Scott Lafaro, Ron Carter, and Charlie Haden.

Pianist Don Alberts grew up playing in the San Francisco jazz clubs which exposed him to the challenging music of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Bud Powell. Much of this music became his foundation and a style rooted deeply in bebop and the blues. The romantic side of his playing comes from the influence of pianist Bill Evans.

Born in New Orleans, drummer Art Lewis began his career in San Francisco, where he studied under Philly Joe Jones. He played at many local clubs, including Jimbo's Famous Bop City, which was the major club at the time. He moved to New York in 1968 and played with many of the more prominent modern jazz players at clubs like the Village Vanguard, Slug's, Ali's Alley, The Tin Palace, The Public Theater, Jazz Workshop, and more.
