  • Bach Meets Bond
    author: Kim Buck

    These guys are pheonominal! Classical music you can tap your toe to, dance to, live to, no way you can't like it!

  • author: Andrea Kumler

    This group was the final of a yearly concert series in Wabash, IN at the Honeywell Center. They were by far my favorite of this year and many years past. The album really does them justice!

  • We Just Burned This for You!
    author: Sarah Darrow

    I had the pleasure of hearing this group in Platteville, WI and smiled all the way through the concert. I bought one of their CDs but made the mistake of giving it away to my daughter and husband for a birthday present. What great musicians that are classically trained and they certainly know how to have fun and how to make their music fun for the audience.

    Absolute mastery of the only instrument that can laugh and cry.

    Saw Nicholas Kendall live with the Anchorage Symphony and knew I wanted more. He - and the whole group - are enormously talented and great fun. Enjoying both CDs and looking forward to the next one.

  • THEIR INTERPETATION CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF EACH SONG
    author: FORREST

    I HAD THE PLEASURE OF LISTENING TO THESE MEN PERFORM AT THE WASHINGTON CATHEDRAL, WASHINGTON, D.C. I WAS SO IMPRESSED THAT I SENT THE CD TO A YOUNG GROOM,WHO MAKES VIOLINS, AND THE WOMAN WHO LOVES HIM SO AS A WEDDING GIFT.

  • Great to hear these guys again!
    author: Kelley Johnson

    What a great group! Great energy, good ears, lots of imagination, heaps of energy, and bit of humor. I have to be careful not to listen to this in the car- it is very exciting. Great fun trying to play along- if you dare....

  • FANTASTIC!
    author: Hoang

    This is a dynamite CD. All songs are played beautifully. I get energized listening to it.

  • CD Baby and Tf3 Are A Perfect Match!
    author: Lon Diffenderfer

    With the hilariously creative and yet believable thank you I received from CD Baby for my order, I know that Tf3 has found the right vendor. I will buying as much of my entertainment from CD Baby as possible after that initial stirring email. Live is the way to go with Tf3, but definitely buy their CDs. You will want to carry their music with you as I have since first seeing them in Lewistown, Pennsylvania in May of 2007. The composition of the group is itself unusual, 2 violins and a bass violin. Visually, this leaves a listener thinking that there will surely be a "gap" with the "alto" of the viola and the "tenor" of the cello missing. Somehow - almost magically - that expected empty space is occupied. The arrangements are fresh, imaginative, stirring, soulful, and more fun than you would ever expect. And these three are tight. They breathe together. They move as one. It would surprise me if they did not finish each other's sentences. That is not to say that the members of the group are lacking individual expression. Quite the contrary - to every delectable song, each member adds his own ingredients, and then they stir them together - sometimes gently, sometimes with a madly passionate vigor - until they have created a masterpiece. When they are in your neck of the woods, be sure to go hear and see them. By all means, buy their CDs. This is music that feeds the soul.

  • love it!
    author: Cathy

    This CD is wonderful...had to purchase it after hearing them in concert with the Des Moines Symphony. Their passion for their music really comes through while listening to this CD. We highly recommend it! Will purchase their other CD also.

  • LOVED IT!!!
    author: Sharla

    This was just as good if not better than the other! lol. Seriously tho these guys are good!!!

  • Harpo Marx (and Elvis) lives!
    author: Jinnayah

    Their live energy really comes through on this album, and makes you want to see them in concert again all the more! They have so much FUN with their music!

  • Of course, wonderful!
    author: Mary

    Reminded me of when we saw them in concert. Enjoyed both the CD and the concert immensely, as do our 3 kids.

  • leaves you smiling!
    author: zane0123

    You can hear the fun these guys have playing. I saw them in concert soon after receiving this disc, and they had the stage presence to match their incredible musical ability. How many musicians can make you laugh strictly by listening to music without lyrics?

  • Unique, Beautiful, Melodic
    author: Jo Eland

    This group was on campus where we heard them in a concert hall with the acoustics deserving of such a group. They are technically superb and unlike many musicians, truly show their pure joy when performing.

  • Outstanding young group!
    author: Kim

    This an awsome collection of songs covering all manner of string play. They were all composed by the bassist.

  • Just what I was looking for...the most incredible strings I've ever heard!
    author: Diana from Phoenix

    I had been searching for some great fiddle music and heard about this group on National Public Radio. I went straight to the website to listen and was quite impressed with the music and the amazing technique of these young musicians. What an incredible blend of classical and bluegrass with some jazz thrown in for extra measure. I'll be looking for them to come out West sometime soon to hear them in person!

  • This pluckish trio is wildly entertaining
    author: Joe Ross

    Playing Time – 41:17 -- Recorded live in concert at Bowling Green University (Ohio) on January 13, 2006, this adventurous “multi-genre power trio” has a unique affinity for (and the skill to effortlessly present) both old-time fiddling and classical music. It’s often said that artists from one genre can’t capture the heart and soul of the other. Many bluegrass musicians play by ear, without classical training, and their music is passed down from generation to generation with a certain degree of rusticity in a folkloric fashion. Proficient sight-reading classical musicians focus on technique, tone and timing, often to make them better orchestra musicians. Time for Three is a bold and courageous trio of young musicians with two violins and upright bass. Zachary DePue, Nicolas Kendall, and Ranaan Meyer met and formed the trio while enrolled at the Curtis Institute of Music. Their self-titled debut album was released in late-2002. They perform regularly, at a variety of venues and festivals, and with many symphony orchestras. Their chutzpah is both a mix of strong self-assurance with a little impudence on the side. Thus, this pluckish trio is proving to be wildly entertaining. With considerable shows under their belts, their repertoire shows that these lyrical players can continue to evoke great emotional electricity. It’s interesting to compare this 2006 live concert with many of the same old-time fiddling, bluegrass, Gypsy and classical pieces released just over three years before. I don’t sense any boredom in their playing of the selections. If anything, their youthful exuberance many push a few of them (“Csardas” or “Ragtime Annie” or “Orange Blossom Special”) into high-stepping tempos that certainly have plenty of get-up-and-go but may actually lose some of their emotion and passion as a result of their speed. Opening with “Shenandoah,” their considerable pluck and fine bow work transition into a Ranaan Meyer’s original, “Foxdown.” Father of Bluegrass Bill Monroe’s “Jerusalem Ridge” about an area he hunted for fox near Rosine, Ky. is given a snappy arrangement with such tempo that the Celtic sounds that Monroe wanted to reflect with the minor key have been sacrificed for improvisational jazz-like sensibilities. As with their earlier album, Meyer’s bass and some train sound effects provide the prelude for an “Orange Blossom Special” that is then propelled into a locomotive mood. Time for Three’s live 2006 show only offered Jay Ungar’s “Ashoken Farewell” (used as the theme for the PBS Civil War series), instead of incorporating it into a medley with “Amazing Grace” as they’d done before. Smooth handling of their violin bows allow the virtuoso musicians to intimately convey Ranaan Meyer’s original “Thunderstomp,” a highlight of this concert. “The Bach Double” features just DePue and Kendall in a warm, weaving conversation, while Brahm’s “Hungarian Dance No. 5” moves at a fast clip. They used to have a longer arrangement that segued from solo bass to the selection’s rhythmic intensity. The eclectic trio Time for Three demonstrates power, virtuosity, cohesion, and kinship. They would clearly be role models to other younger musicians taking up strings. They have some standard crowd-pleasers that are presented live. I encourage them to continue writing their own music, looking for new material to arrange, and pushing the envelope into uncharted territory. A faculty member at their alma mater, award-winning composer Jennifer Higdon, has been commissioned to create a contemporary work for the trio, scheduled to premier in early 2008. And, as they move quickly to even greater acclaim, I hope Time For Three won’t be afraid to slow down just a tad to tap the emotional depth and personalities of some of the more familiar or less challenging melodies that they’ve played for years.

  • Fantastic and Unique
    author: Dr. Joseph Sylvan

    Nick, Zach, and Ranaan are among the most consummate and versatile musicians in the world, who have embarked upon a new dimension in the musical universe, and who deserve our attention and admiration. They brought the house down in a recent concert here in Las Cruces New Mexico.

  • Wonderful Sounds!
    author: Marit

    I've been waiting for the group to put "Blackbird" on CD since I heard it on PBS about a year ago. Very poignant rendition. It brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. The rest of the CD is an added bonus!! Great work! Thanks!

  • an awsome sound
    author: Phil Kennedy

    The main reason I bought this CD was having heard "Orange Blossom Special" on the radio. After they played this song they said there was a CD out and I knew I wanted it. Its an unbelievable sound.

    i saw them live in concert! the most unexpected thing i've ever listened to in my life... their music is innovating and so amazing!

  • You have to hear this to believe it!
    author: Lisa

    After seeing Nicolas Kendall in concert at the Maryland Symphony Orchestra, my son (8 yrs old)wanted to buy this CD. So we did. When we listened to it at home, he asked me to buy 2 more for his grandparents. This CD is fantastic! If you love classical musical, blue grass and fiddling, you will adore this CD. I cannot say anything but good stuff about their music. Let's just say that the sounds that come from these three young men is the way God intended music to be!

  • Great CD!
    author: Pat

    It's all good - lively and heartfelt, a Bluegrass / Classical combination that is the best I've heard. I have the first album and was waiting for this one. I look forward to the next. - - The next best thing to seeing them perform in person!

  • A wonderful Experience -- LOVE this CD
