NEWS
The JKM TRIO not only plays music for the enjoyment of the public. They  also believe that music can be used in a social and spiritual context as well. Reacting to events in the world is expressed for example in one of their works called "Don`t Be  A victim". This song expresses the idea that every person, no matter who they are or where they are must have the power to determine their own lives and their own futures. And the spiritual side of their music is expressed in the work on their new CD "Rumi Spins". Their  philosophy is to cross the artificial musical boundaries.
