Initially planned to be a one-time collaboration for an early 1980s jazz festival in Clusone, Italy, the trio became a regular group by the end of that decade.[1]
Their music was a blend of free improvisation and jazz, the latter typically in a post-bop or free jazz vein (but sometimes touching on swing music), and including both original compositions by the trio and interpretations of jazz standards. Additionally, their performances often featured a humorous edge due in no small part to Bennink's propensity towards quirky, slapstick humor. Somewhat unusually for a cellist, Reijseger often played pizzicato walking bass in the style of a jazz double-bassist or held and strummed the instrument like a guitar.[2] They occasionally performed as the Clusone 4, with guests Guus Janssen on piano or Dave Douglas on trumpet.[3]
Clusone Trio released six albums, the first two on Moore's small independent label before recording for larger labels like Grammavision or HatArt.
