Welcome to The B-Town Trio

We are electric bass, drums, and keyboards and come from a diverse musical background. Our live performances are full of jazz standards, originals, and funk and Latin too, where we develop a sound incorporating our individual influences, fuse different styles, and create and improvise anew every performance.

Jason OConnor

Jason OConnor has been playing the electric bass for more than a few decades and has performed at venues across the U.S., from Boston to L.A. to NYC. Jazz and funk are his mainstays but he also plays many other styles as well. Writing songs and creating on-the-spot improvisation are two of Jason’s favorite musical forms of expression. From slap to finger picking to bass chords, Jason is a versatile player who loves beautiful melodies and harmonies as much as grooves, rhythms, and beats.
