i3º (pronounced “thirteen degrees”) is a jazz trio of music professors from central NY. Nicholas Walker plays the double bass, Greg Evans plays the drums, and Nick Weiser plays the piano.
i3º plays music in schools, retirement communities, concert halls, outdoor festivals, prisons, hospitals, parks, homes, bars, and community centers. The members of the trio believe that music elevates the human condition, that access to music is a basic human need (like clear water and shelter), that the act of attending to music ignites the empathy sectors in the brain, which in turn releases oxytocin, building intimacy, and leading us all to compassion, morality, and love.
