about

“The real risk is not changing. I have to feel that I’m after something. If I make money, fine. But I’d rather be striving. It’s the striving, man, it’s that I want.” – John Coltrane

It is this spirit of striving that forms the Mirth Stellar Regions Trio. A culmination piecing together ideas and explorations from years of practice. Ideas of freedom, ideas of control, ideas of influence, ideas of inspiration. Stellar Regions represents a springboard built on the history of jazz improvisation presented with the ideas of today. They dare to push the guitar trio into new territory propped on the inspiration of the great innovators.

The Stellar Region’s trio is the brainchild of Tim Mirth. He dreamed of a group that brought the soul of Coltrane and Hendrix into the modern age. It starts by presenting a boundless performance with no rules and glues it together with the true soul of music, rhythm and groove. MSRT is influenced by artists such as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Chris Potter, Mark Giuliani, Wayne Krantz, James Brown, and Shawn Lane. It touches on their melody, inventiveness, groove, maturity, and fearlessness. Whether it’s Tony’s addictive grooves, Seth’s multi-versed bass lines, or the inventive fire of Tim’s guitar playing the Stellar Region’s trio will energize your spirit.

Side Note: While Tony Kazel was the original and primary drummer, unfortunately there is either a lack of recordings or even poorer recording quality on most shows featuring Tony, hence not nearly enough representation on this record.

about

Tim Mirth Akron, Ohio

Probably a musician by birth as I tapped my foot to life. I am into innovating. Improv is just how I am as a person in music and life. I think as musicians it is our responsibility to make advances and make changes, to push the envelope. You may say no one will listen, but if it is good they will. Keep trying I know I will, let us be creative and open minds. ... more
