The Michael Story Trio play their own interpretation of the 'ECM' jazz piano trio style, blending the sounds of Bobo Stenson's trio, harmonic and melodic interplay of Brad Mehldau's trio and the kick, hats, snare and woody double bass grooves of the Bad Plus.

In April the trio released it's second album 'So you want more' featuring all original tracks by Michael. The album has been compared to some of the best european releases

“…the shared quality is lyricism and deeply satisfying melodic flow. Here surely is an object lesson in how intensity can be focused in inward-looking music of enduring beauty.”

- Steve Robertson (PBSfm)

In October the trio travelled to New Zealand to perform in Christchurch at the CPIT Jazz School and the ASB Queenstown International Jazz Festival
