Only Trio is a chamber jazz ensemble composed of trumpet, trombone, and saxophone. Music is written and arranged by Steve O'Brien, and personnel are Kate Olson (soprano sax), Jacob Herring (trombone), and Steve O'Brien (trumpet). Only Trio started as a project for the Capitol Hill neighborhood. O'Brien wanted an ensemble to play his original tunes that didn't have to travel across the city to rehearse, and to give his unique "chamber jazz" arrangements a new voice. Hence, Only Trio was born; a collection of neighbors in the shadow of Cornish College of the Arts. O'Brien, Herring and Olson had experience playing together already as a part of Wayne Horvitz's Royal Room Collective Music Ensemble, and the continued collaboration seemed inevitable. The trio recorded their first studio EP last year, which is available on Bandcamp!

The TKO Super Secret Saxophone Project is Kate Olson, soprano; Ivan Arteaga, alto; Chris Credit, tenor; Peter Danie, baritone. Since moving to Seattle in 2010, Kate Olson has sought to find a way to collaborate with other saxophonists. Four years and a few false starts later, she's written a four-movement suite of minimalist-inspired music to commemorate her 31st birthday, and found the talented musicians to make it come to life. Each movement is 31 measures long and employs the compositions like jazz heads; improvisation is book-ended by the performance of each movement's written material. Their performance will consist of that suite (#1: Birth, Living, Dying, Decay) as well as Dis connect, a piece composed and arranged for saxophone quartet by Naomi Siegel.
