The Prism Trio is a collaboration between pianist Nicki Adams, bassist Eddy Khaimovich and drummer Evan Hyde. Playing together, the three become a prism that spreads light, in its many shades and colors, on audiences and listeners around New York City and across the world.

The Prism trio formed in 2022, initially as a duo, between Eddy and Nicki who met after years working as professional musicians in NYC. In their estimation, the divisions that box musical genres into different regions and eras is somewhat arbitrary. The trio strives to merge the works of creative geniuses without the confines of stylistic rigidity, echoing Ellington’s sentiment that the only two kinds of music are “good music and the other kind.”  

Eddy has performed at major concert venues around the world, such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Blue Note, Amsterdam Concertgebouw and Shanghai Opera House, in a variety of genres with leading artists, including Gloria Estefan, Roy Hargrove, Paquito D’Rivera, Oz Noy, James Moody, Fred Hersch, Itzhak Perelman, Zubin Mehta, and many more.

Nicki is a Steeplechase recording artist who has released six albums as a leader and recorded and performed with the likes of Francesco Mela, Corey Wilcox and Kassa Overall.. While focusing on jazz, both Nicki and Eddy have also been strongly influenced by the works of classical composers.

Prism Trio is completed by inimitable drummer Evan Hyde, a rising star in the NYC jazz scene. Evan brings a quiet rhythmic fire to the trio and is equally attuned to feel and conceptual intricacies. Like the rest of the trio, Evan is a genre chameleon. With recent collaborations including George Coleman, Freddy Cole, Russell Malone, Helen Sung, Stanley Jordan, Shelly Berg, Kenny Barron, Cheryl Bentyne, John Daversa, Brian Lynch, Ira Sullivan, and Houston Person, Evan can swing with depth and emotion while bolstering the trio’s creative core.

In their commitment to music, The Prism trio summits the highest echelons of craft and innovation, bringing joy to listeners from all walks of life.
