So I think our story’s a little more complex than a jazz trio.”The history of the band??s sound is as layered as their influences. King and Anderson, who have known each other for over 25 years, first bonded over the song “Rock & Roll Band?? by the rock band Boston. They played together with Iverson for the first time...
