Three Squared -- Object [EP]
By Jeanie Straub
Colorado Music Buzz

Three Squared is a quartet of musicians who like the freedom improv provides and know how to put it to good use; they tout jazz fused with “countless influences” as well as their “individual musical paths” as their product. And you’d be buying what their hawking (were you not at their CD release party on Nov. 27 at Dazzle, where they were handing out the CDs for free). These six tracks, one as long as 11:09, you’ll find yourself looping, even if you are not a jazz aficionado. Along with a profile of each musician, the linear notes discuss Antwon Owens, percussionist, bringing “unparalleled passion and sensitivity to the rhythmic forces of a set,” and really all of them -- that’s, in addition to Owens, Jim Disner on guitar, Matt King on saxophone, and Nathan Walter on bass -- bring not only classical training meshed with passion, wisdom, and an ability to complete each other, but mass groove, straight-up.
