It has been a stellar, 20-plus year career for The Eric Byrd Trio, one of the Avalon’s long-time favorite jazz bands…and it would appear they are just getting started!
Not only are they winners of The Maryland State Arts Council $10k Independent Artist Award (IAA) for notable artistic achievement and recipients of a prestigious Governor’s Citation from Gov. Larry Hogan, they have performed with the great Wynton Marsalis and their latest recording, “Twenty”, won last year’s Washington Area Music Award (Wammy) Jazz Recording of the Year.
