Framework, an instrumental trio from the Twin Cities, has two CDs out, featuring many original compositions, as well as creative arrangements of pre-existing material. Featuring legendary drummer, Jay Epstein, and powerhouse bassist, Chris Bates, the group covers a wide range of grooves, from Jazz waltzes to odd-meter Fusion, but can still swing with the best of them!
