H30 Harmony Tri-O, an exceptional jazz vocal and instrumental ensemble, artfully combines soulful vocal harmonies with instrumental virtuosity, integrating live improvisations into their creative renditions of familiar melodies. Consisting of skilled musicians proficient in piano, guitar, percussion, and vocals, the trio excels in both vocal and instrumental improvisation, weaving a unique sonic fabric. Their fresh approach to well-known pieces is characterized by complex jazzy arrangements, infused with deep vocal harmonies and on-the-spot improvisational flair. 

What truly sets the H30 Trio apart is their remarkable capacity for synchronized improvisation, seamlessly blending instrumental and vocal layers into a unified, vibrant performance. This synergy not only revitalizes classic tunes with a modern twist but also pays homage to the original works. Their live performances transcend typical concerts, evolving into dynamic explorations of musical terrains across various times and places. Each performance by H30 is imbued with the excitement of inventive discovery and the resonance of shared musical journeying.

“Anita’s voice is peculiar, I can treat it like a musical instrument in jazz music – it has a large palette of colors, shades and dynamics, and what is important – it speaks the language of improvisation. Few singers can afford it. Anita is a real partner on stage” – Igor Zakus

His style showcases a melding of jazz with world music and a vocal emphasis, as he continues to expand his musical horizons and influence in the global jazz scene.
