Formed in France in 2010 by pianist Elie Dufour, double bassist Yann Phayphet and drummer Marc Michel, EYM Trio explores the international realm of jazz, touring the world and fostering deep artistic connections and collaborations. At the core of the trio’s musical evolution are the artists and approaches they have discovered throughout their many performances across the globe.
EYM Trio has performed on stages and festivals throughout the world, including the Tokyo Jazz Festival, Winter Jazz Festival (New York), Jazz à Vienne, Kolkata Jazz Fest, Jarasum Jazz Festival (South Korea), Taichung Jazz Festival (Taiwan), Medellin Jazz Festival (Colombia), Ngayog Jazz Festival (Indonesia) and many others.
Their newest album, "Bangalore," is named after the capital city of Karnataka in south India and is where the trio first met Varijashree Venugopal. The music is a reflection of their friendship, spontaneity and musical connection. It blends boundaries, genres and cultures, representing a crossover between jazz and Carnatic traditions.

Museum of Making Music
Founded in 1998, the Museum of Making Music explores the multifaceted history of the American music products industry from its beginnings in the 1890s to today. Housed at NAMM Headquarters in Carlsbad, California (north San Diego county), the Museum tells stories of hard work, challenge, inspiration and pioneering innovation, and reveals the profound relationship between the industry, popular music, and global culture. The Museum serves as a resource for the community of NAMM members through the preservation, interpretation and sharing of the industry’s collective history in a public museum context. In addition, it reveals the unique and often unknown story of the music products industry to the general public. Through intimate concerts, films, discussions, hands-on workshops, volunteer opportunities and programs for youth, the Museum opens doors to enable people of all ages and walks of life to find their way into the richly kaleidoscopic world of music making. Hours The Museum is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The Museum is closed on Mondays and on major U.S. holidays, including: New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Features The Museum's Interactive Area. The interactive area is where visitors have the chance to make their own music. It includes a variety of hands-on instruments that represent both the latest innovations and lasting traditions in musical instruments. Most interactive instruments come equipped with a pair of headphones so that guests can discover instruments and play privately. Exhibitions. The Museum regularly curates special exhibitions that help tell the story of instrument innovations and the music products industry. These special exhibitions help enhance the normal display artifacts and provide glimpses at unique pieces of history. These exhibitions usually only are viewable for a limited time. Due to their temporary nature, we have taken the initiative to begin cataloging these exhibitions in greater visual (and sometimes aural) detail so that we may present them to you in the virtually limitless expanse of the internet. Admission General Admission: $10 Seniors (60+), students (4-18), & active military (w/ID): $7 Museum members & children 3 and under: Free
