Remember when the Trio played a sold out show at Knew Conscious in Denver August 2021 right after Tipper played Red Rocks? Well apparently that happened and sure enough, we have evidence in the form of a full 1.5 hr recording! This set was an absolute thrill to practice and perform and we hope you enjoy the journey 🛸

Mirage a trois:  Supersillyus "Trip" "Hop" Dj Set live from the Brooklyn Mirage

Ever since making the first family jazz mix in 2020, I knew I’d want to put together another to showcase more of my family’s music in this way. So when I got asked to play a family jazz set as part of the Tipper & Friends takeover at Secret Dreams festival this year, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to do so.

This project felt like a collage to me - spent a lot of time gathering old recordings from family members, piecing together with electronic tracks, and doing new recordings on top of that. It would not be possible without all the musicians and producers whose music I featured in this curation so be sure to see the full track list below. Special shoutouts to my dad Paul Barbato, Uncle Joe “Sonny” Barbato, Uncle Artie Barbato, and family friend Bill Jones for doing many recording sessions with me and making this set extra special.

Lots of love was put into this mix and I do hope you enjoy. As I said after making the first one, I am grateful for having a family that taught me music as one of the greatest pleasures in life, and I hope that this helps keep the vibrant genre of jazz alive and celebrated.

Alfie - Joe "Sonny" Barbato (feat. Jimmy Ponder)
Dolphin's Dream - Mindex (feat. Paul Barbato, Joe "Sonny" Barbato)
