Original works for trio and American Songbook featuring longtime trio partners Nick Hetko, piano, Rich Syracuse, double bass, and Jeff “Siege” Siegel, drums.

A simpatico borne through years of performing together, Hetko, Syracuse & Siegel play with an interplay born out of their relationship with the late great pianist Lee Shaw. Shaw (featured in the documentary “Lee’s 88 Keys”), was the teacher of the prodigy Nick Hetko and the leader of her long-standing trio with Rich Syracuse and Jeff “Siege” Siegel. Nick has carried the mantle of exciting, swinging, elegant piano playing Lee was known for to complement the unique rhythm section chemistry of Syracuse/Siegel.
