Group Chat<\/em><\/strong> is the third single and title track from the upcoming Pete Roth Trio<\/strong> album of the same name, released <\/em>September 18, 2026. Led by guitarist Pete Roth<\/strong>, alongside bassist Mike Pratt<\/strong> and incomparable drummer Bill Bruford<\/strong>, Group Chat<\/em><\/strong> is a release of particular significance, marking Bruford’s eagerly awaited return to headline performance after a 13-year hiatus, as well as his first appearance on new material in 19 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Produced by Pete Roth and Bill Bruford for Winterfold Records<\/strong>, Group Chat<\/em><\/strong> presents a trio that thrives on intimacy, risk and connection. Rooted in jazz but never constrained by it, the single moves fluidly through funk and spontaneous improvisation, with nothing treated as untouchable. As the title implies, it is a vivid document of three distinctive musical voices in open conversation – intimate, exploratory, witty and deeply alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The music press reactions to both single and album have been emphatic. “The Pete Roth Trio is a band of equals, clearly loving the opportunity to improvise and have musical conversations,”<\/em> wrote Biff Bam Pop!, while Innerviews praised the music as “rich with nuance, invention, and telepathic rapport.”<\/em> Dr. Jazz Talks described the album as “a feast of rhythm and melody,”<\/em> and Make Weird Music summed up its appeal succinctly: “I wish more jazz was this much fun.”<\/em> Another review captured the trio’s balancing act perfectly, calling it “loose enough that it could fall apart and tight enough that it grooves.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group Chat<\/em><\/strong> reflects a continuing commitment to the innovative, the unusual and the unlikely. Together, the three musicians create an experience that reshapes expectations of the guitar trio format, making space for melody, texture, groove and surprise in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
