OKONSKI to Release ADDITIONS EP Sept. 18, Launch Tour Sept. 11 in Chicago
The trio includes Steve Okonski, Aaron Frazer of Durand Jones and the Indications, and bassist Michael Isvara Montgomery.
Jazz piano trio Okonski — Steve Okonski on keys, Durand Jones and the Indications bandmate Aaron Frazer on drums, and bassist Michael Isvara 'Ish' Montgomery — will release a new instrumental jazz EP titled 'Additions' on September 18th via Colemine Records. The EP arrives on cassette and digital/streaming platforms.
Over the course of 2026, the trio has been trickling out a wide variety of singles to keep fans at bay ahead of their highly anticipated 2027 LP3. The tracks offer a variety of influences, and include collaborations with the likes of saxophonist Cochemea and harpist Rachel Kitchlew. To conclude this series of singles, Colemine Records has pressed up a limited number of cassettes including all the newest tracks and a few bonus live tunes. The group's regarded EP 'Trio Session Demos' have been added to the flip of the cassette, the first time these hip-hop inspired early cuts have been available physically.
At the top of 2025, Okonski released their sophomore LP 'Entrance Music' to wide acclaim. The spiritual jazz record received praise from Rolling Stone, BBC, Billboard, KEXP, countless others and has streamed over 10 million times. The trio recently completed a sold-out L.A. show and embark on their first UK/EU tour this fall.
The trio kicks off a U.S. tour on September 11th in Chicago, including dates supporting The War on Drugs, followed by Europe/UK dates.
