Much of the material performed by Trio! was from The Rite of Strings, with Fleck on banjo instead of Al Di Meola on guitar.
History
Formed in mid-2005, Trio! toured the U.S. East Coast between May and October 2005, as well as playing dates in Canada, Spain, Switzerland, and The Netherlands. They performed at numerous jazz festivals, including the Newport Jazz Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, the JVC Festival in Los Angeles, the Burlington Discover Jazz Festival in Burlington, VT, and the Syracuse Jazz Festival in Syracuse, NY (where the date of their performance was officially proclaimed "Bela Fleck, Stanley Clarke, and Jean-Luc Ponty Day" by the Mayor). This supergroup being a side project for all three members, and as Fleck went back on tour with the Flecktones to promote their album The Hidden Land, the group disbanded.
Trio (Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris album)
Trio is a collaboration album by three American performers, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. The album, released in 1987, sold over 4 million copies worldwide and also received several awards, including two Grammy Awards. Parton, Ronstadt, and Harris released a second album, Trio II, in 1999.
History
Longtime friends and admirers of one another, Parton, Ronstadt and Harris first attempted to record an album together in the mid-1970s, but scheduling conflicts and other difficulties (including the fact that the three women all recorded for different record labels) prevented its release. Some of the fruits of those aborted 1970s recording sessions did make it onto the women's respective solo recordings. "Mister Sandman" and "Evangeline" appeared on Harris' album Evangeline and Parton's "My Blue Tears" was included on Ronstadt's 1982 album Get Closer. Rodney Crowell's "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" was on Harris' Blue Kentucky Girl album. Parton and Ronstadt also recorded a version of the traditional ballad "I Never Will Marry", which appeared on Ronstadt's 1977 Simple Dreams album, though that was recorded separately from these sessions, as was Rondstadt's cover of Hank Williams' "I Can't Help it if I'm Still in Love With You", from Heart Like a Wheel, on which she was joined by Harris. (During this time, Ronstadt and Harris also covered a number of Parton's compositions—Harris covered "Coat of Many Colors" and "To Daddy", and Ronstadt recorded "I Will Always Love You"—for inclusion on their various solo albums during the mid- to late-1970s; Parton, in turn, covered Harris' "Boulder to Birmingham" in 1976, including it on her All I Can Do album.)
Trio was an historic 20ft (6.1m)trimaransailboat derived from design by Lock Crowther and built by Howard Stephenson in 1962 using the hull of an Austral 20.

Plot
After Day has a severe headache (caused by his disease), he reveals to June that he has months to live. However, while they are talking, Denver gets attacked by the Colonies. After making it to a bunker reserved for the wealthy, they discover that Tess and several other Patriots are being held there. Day gets the authority to lead them on a mission to sabotage the Colonies, and they destroy a nearby Colonies airbase. Meanwhile, June and Anden head to Ross City, Antarctica in hopes of finding allies. The only offer Anden receives, however, is to give up some of the Republic's land in exchange for military support.
After another severe headache that was triggered by an explosion, Day is contacted by the Chancellor of the Colonies. He is blackmailed, and if he doesn't tell the people to revolt against the Republic, June and Eden will die.The Chancellor gives Day a three-day ceasefire. Right after the call ends, Tess is put into quarantine because she has become infected by the plague running rampant in the Colonies.
"Champion" is a pop song recorded by Swedish singer Agnes taken from her second album Stronger. The track was written by Agnes Carlsson, Curtis A. Richardson, and Emanuel Olsson and produced by Emanuel Olsson for Cosmos Productions. It was released as the album's second single in Sweden.
Music Video
A music video was produced to promote the single. The video was directed by Peter Mars.
Although both the demo and the trip were well-received, the band was plagued with constant line-up changes. Despite struggling with a revolving cast of members, Champion were able to regroup in 2000 and release the Come Out Swinging EP on Platinum Recordings (Germany).
Champion then signed with Bridge 9 Records and recorded another EP, entitled Count Our Numbers, followed by the re-release of Come Out Swinging. Constant touring with bands such as Comeback Kid, Terror and Sick Of It All road-tested their sound. They toured all over the US and even made it to Europe.
Champion's full-length LP, Promises Kept, was released on Bridge 9 Records, and was well received. After a second European tour and an Australian leg, Champion toured the United States in early 2005. "In the spring they were to became one of the first Western independent act to visit the famous country of South Korea where Kill Your Idols and Ensign also played around 2001." 2005 also saw the band re-release their previous two EPs on one CD, entitled Time Slips Away.
After a trio of 3-0 defeats, Barcelona failed to progress from their ChampionsLeague group for the first time since 2003, and had been as low as ninth in the league by October, prompting the dismissal of Ronald Koeman and the arrival of Xavi.
