About PRT
PRT strives for an intimate, relatively unscripted music that thrives in small places and dark corners. Jazz, funk, contemporary classical, Dvorak. Nothing is sacred. It is not retro. It is not comfortable. It is just brilliantly unruly.
The Pete Roth Trio, featuring Pete on guitar, Mike Pratt on bass, and Bill Bruford on drums, offers a near-jazz experience that is intimate, improvised, and deeply interactive.
The music unfolds as a conversation between players and audience, where every performance becomes a unique exploration of sound, texture, and connection.

Reviews
“Absolutely astonishing and amazing musicianship”
“One sign of the players' immense professionalism was that it did not need to be put on display. Even the most virtuosic solos avoided unnecessary showboating, and rich soundscapes were built at times with striking subtlety.”
“'Full Circle' [was] a driving funk original with plenty of effects pedal over a bass-drum groove, and it was here rather than in the jazz tunes that the band sounded as though they had found their natural habitat.”
