Project Trio's discography includes three recordings and a recently released DVD, PROJECT Trio: Live In Concert, and a fourth CD slated for release in Fall, 2012, all on the Trio's own record label, Harmonyville Records. Their catalog-spanning Random Roads Collection was released by Tummy Touch Records on May 8, 2012, and immediately rose to No. 2 and 15 on Billboard's Canadian and US classical music charts and, in a rare feat, simultaneously debuted at No. 17 on the trade magazine's jazz charts. Each of PROJECT Trio's recordings soared to the top of the iTunes charts upon their release. Their disc Project Trio was acclaimed by Jazz Review as "a glorious celebration of the music of our time." This disc builds on the sound that is at the foundation of the group's success, with heavy hitting originals such as Dr. Nick and Fast and reinterpretations of Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns and Roses and Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo a la Turk. Their debut CD, Winter in June showcases the versatility of PROJECT Trio with 12 original compositions from classical to jazz, and hip-hop to experimental acoustic sounds. Their follow up disc Brooklyn collects well known staples from their live show, with covers and originals and even complete overhauls from the likes of Django Reinhardt, Duke Ellington, Theolonius Monk, JS Bach and Tchaikovsky, along with their own Brooklyn Suite, a collection of tone poems from the world they are surrounded by in the city of Brooklyn. After meeting at the Cleveland Institute of Music, they quickly realized that there was no repertoire written for the unique combination of bass, flute and cello. This forced the members to compose and arrange their own music, which they publish on their Harmonyville label. Original compositions by the trio are influenced by the sounds of jazz, hip-hop beatbox and rock. Their music can be heard in Nike and Smart Car commercials. Last year, the National Flute Association commissioned Pattillo to write "Three Beats for Beatbox Flute." Greg Pattillo recently demonstrated his beatbox style for Jay Leno and performed with the Tonight Show orchestra. Dedicated to engaging today's younger audiences, PROJECT Trio has performed and led workshops for over 100,000 students on three continents, including over 35 states in the US. PROJECT Trio is instantly recognizable to students of all ages as a result of their YouTube following and appearances on popular TV shows on Nickelodeon and MTV. Their educational programs are adapted to meet the National Standards for Music Education, with specialized curricula for age groups from elementary students through college. They held their first summer camp at the Bay View Music Festival in Michigan this summer. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Pattillo, Stephenson, and Seymour founded PROJECT Trio in Boulder, Colorado in the summer of 2005. The group initially came up with the idea to do one week "projects" in different cities around the US, with each project including education/community outreach events and concerts of classical works and their own music. The Trio got its big break in 2006 when Greg Pattillo's Beatbox Flute video went viral on YouTube, receiving millions of views in its first week. Reaching out to audiences of all ages through the Internet, live performances, and recordings, PROJECT Trio has since become one of the worlds most championed and exciting instrumental ensembles.
