The Burr Johnson Trio consists of guitar, bass, and drums, playing a fusion of Jazz, Rock, Funk, and Blues.Their goals are to put forward fun and complex compositions in a bed of highly energetic playing. Music for musicians. The band strives to play music that is as much fun to play as it is to listen to and has shared tones with some of the best players you will likely hear. Burr says, "It is so much fun to play together with true believers in excellence in instrumental music." The songs are usually very involved and intricate (true to the style of fusion), but there is also groove oriented material and even some vocals. Lots of MIDI guitar stuff which really increases the overall presence of the band.
