Encyclopedia > Air (jazz group)

Air was a jazz trio founded in 1971 by saxophone player Henry Threadgill, double bassist Fred Hopkins and drummer Steve McCall.


The group began when Threadgill was asked by Columbia College in Chicago, Illinois to arrange a number of Scott Joplin songs. Joplin was so strongly associated with piano that the musicians enjoyed the challenge of performing his trademark songs without piano.


Air broke up and reformed several times, and after McCall's death, Andrew Cyrille performed with the trio.
