Sam Trapchak Trio

Bassist and composer Sam Trapchak has been an active force in the New York City jazz community for nearly two decades, sharing the stage with artists such as Dave Binney, Stacy Dillard, Seamus Blake, Donny McCaslin, Rich Perry, Ari Hoenig, Benito Gonzalez, and many others. When he’s not performing or studying the work of his peers and predecessors, he’s hard at work composing—having written nearly a hundred pieces. He has released three albums as a leader, most recently Flaco’s Lament in May 2025, and for this performance he’s joined by trumpeter Darren Johnston and pianist Adam Shulman.
