The Scott Routenberg Trio is an acoustic jazz piano trio specializing in Routenberg's award-winning compositions, Brazilian jazz, and fresh interpretations of the standard repertoire.
The dynamic, intense and critically-acclaimed trio has been lauded as "an example of moving forward in jazz music" (Chamber Music America), with Routenberg hailed as a "rising-star jazz pianist...who has found his own voice in the modern mainstream" and a "superior modern jazz pianist offering an individualistic take on the classic piano trio" (JAZZIZ).

The trio's debut album 
Every End Is A Beginning, released on Summit Records in 2017, reached #65 on the JazzWeek radio chart, #33 on the Roots Music Report Top 50 Jazz Albums. The Creative Source's Dr. Brad Stone calls the album "an early candidate for jazz record of the year."
In 2018 the Scott Routenberg Trio released their second studio album, Supermoon, to critical acclaim. The album features 10 original compositions inspired by Routenberg's young children. Jazz Weekly declared: "the modern jazz piano trio is alive and well."
