the blingus trio: jeff sipe, quinn sternberg & jay sanders

In the intimate confines of Little Jumbo Bar, three musical architects will converge to build sonic cathedrals from pure improvisation. The Blingus Trio brings together a trinity of Asheville's most innovative voices: Jeff "Apt. Q-258" Sipe, the Grammy-nominated rhythmic alchemist who transforms drum kits into interdimensional portals; Quinn Sternberg, the gravitational bass force whose four strings hold entire musical solar systems in perfect orbit; and Jay Sanders, the genre-defying guitarist-composer whose sonic experiments blend everything from jazz fusion to symphonic grandeur. This isn't just another jazz trio—it's a meeting of minds where Sipe's legendary groove mastery (honed through collaborations with Trey Anastasio and John McLaughlin) converges with Sternberg's architectural bass storytelling and Sanders' universe-building compositional vision. Expect musical conversations that dance between chamber music intimacy and cosmic exploration, where decades of collective experience crystallize into moments of pure spontaneous creation. When three masters of their craft gather in one room with nothing but their instruments and boundless creative possibility, magic happens. The Blingus Trio promises an evening where every note is a question, every groove is an answer, and the space between the beats holds infinite potential.
