Trios is a studio album by American bassist Rob Wasserman.[1] It was released in February 1994 through MCA-GRP Records. As the title implies, the album consists of trio pieces performed with guest musicians alongside solo bass pieces.
Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Richard Meyer called the Elvis Costello and Marc Ribot collaboration "great", while choosing "Fantasy Is Reality" (performed by Brian and Carnie Wilson) as the album's best track.[2] Music Connection also found "Fantasy Is Reality" to be a highlight, though the publication also found many of the other collaborations to be "less-than-stellar" and the bass instrumentals to be "unnecessary".[3]
