Il VHD Trio nasce nel 2015, ne fanno parte Alberto Bellavia, pianista e compositore dell’entroterra ligure, che con la sua musica ha girato l’Europa esibendosi anche nel “Nuovo Mondo”, nella magica New York, realizzando così il sogno di tutti i jazzisti: suonare alla Canergie Hall. Alberto nel VHD TRIO abbandona il pianoforte per creare la sua musica sull’Hammond, uno strumento molto amato da una certa cerchia di jazzisti contemporanei.
La voce è quella di Chiara Rosso, cantante Jazz & Blues, ma anche cantautrice, molto contaminata ed eclettica, la quale si diverte a comporre le sue canzoni e a reinterpretare standards jazz, e non solo, in maniera originale.
E infine alla batteria Carlo Gaia, che qui può esprimere tutta la sua creatività ritmica e il suo gusto Jazz, derivato dalla tradizione e contaminato da influenze Rock, Soul e RnB.
Il VHD Trio è questo. Un trio di jazzisti un po’ fuori dagli schemi, che si divertono a reinterpretare, scomporre e ricomporre noti brani del jazz americano,  con un sapore europeo ed estremamente contemporaneo. Non mancano composizioni originali e omaggi al rock-pop internazionale.
