Almost immediately after moving to New York, Ali Perret founded the Free ‘ Key Trio at the beginning of 2004 with two well-known musicians in the New York jazz scene, Ira Coleman and Thurman Barker. Instead of the traditional soloist-rhythm section approach, the Trio treats the stage as an egalitarian platform in which all musicians contribute equally and freely. During this libertarian attempt, the general framework of the music is outlined by the compositions of Perret, which are specifically written for the trio format.
