Founded in 2023 as a duo, the Frykas/Fast/Bradford Trio is an exciting new project featuring Derek Frykas on woodwinds, Alanna Fast on piano, and Julian Bradford on bass. The trio features original music, reimaginings of popular songs, and jazz standards.

Derek Frykas is a founding member of the Winnipeg Jazz Collective, and plays regularly with the JP LePage band and a number of other groups in Winnipeg and surrounding area. Active as a composer and arranger, he has written and arranged much of the trio’s music.

Alanna Fast has been active in the Winnipeg music scene for many years. She can be heard with the Women’s Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra along with many other small and large groups in the city.

Julian Bradford is one of the most in-demand bassists in Winnipeg, and can be heard with Ariel Posen along with many of the finest jazz musicians.
