Introducing The Tryst from Tucson, Arizona, USA….
The Tryst attracts the descriptive “eclectic” like Tucson gets tagged “dry”.
It’s just the way it is.
And who are we to refute the obvious?
But while for some bands the adjective intones a mash-up of genres, The Tryst navigates the listener from jazz to soul with a gentle hand. The local combo’s third CD, “Truth Be Told,” does this expertly, with the calm of a house band in coziest of lounges. They want you to linger over their cocktail of sounds, not knock it in your lap.
