Le premier disque du trio présentait uniquement 10 compositions de Jean Derome; leur deuxième, The Feeling of Jazz, une relecture de grandes compositions cueillies dans toute l’histoire du jazz; Étymologie, leur troisième parution, était en format DVD. Il s’agissait de la version en film d’un concert du Trio au Lion d’Or présenté dans le cadre de l’OFF Festival de Jazz de Montréal; Leur quatrième disque s’intitulait Danse à l’Anvers. Voici maintenant Wow!, qui nous présente: La Danse de Raphaëlle, Mes enfants et Palestine, 3 compositions de Jean Derome ainsi que 4 «standards»: The Best Things In Life Are Free, une chanson de Ray Henderson datant de 1927; Wow et Dreams, deux pièces de Lennie Tristano, un des pionniers du jazz be-bop; et The Baron, une composition de Eric Dolphy, ce géant du jazz moderne, et qu’il avait dédiée au grand Charles Mingus.
