...Besides these sideman jobs he teaches Jazz and electric guitar at the Joseph Haydn Conservatory Eisenstadt/Austria, and records and produces with his own Fusion Trio. 1996 Gerald produced a live record with his band THREEO featuring the great BOB BERG (Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Mike Stern....) on tenor sax.
    This CD - a real dynamic and virtuoso record - was recorded during a European Tour 1996 and became best Jazz album 1998 in Austria.  With THREEO G.Gradwohl played Festivals and Clubs all over the world (Montreal, London, Wiesen ,Leverkusen,....)...
    ..."Threeo Live" marks a change in venue from the original Threeo self-titled release from electric (conventional) jazz towards a more aggressive brand of jazz, namely fusion. 
   The trio once again teams up with a riveting saxman (kinda like axeman!), this time Bob Berg doing the honors.  Threeo Live is a superb compilation of jazz artistry that will delight fusion fanatics of all creeds...
    ...Though the guitar and sax work are in the forefront most of the effort, I mean no slight to the rhythm section comprised of Wograndl and Filz in the above remarks by ommission of their credits due to overzealous appreciation of the guitar work, because, as usual, they are tight as a drum skin and set a solid frame that makes it all work.  This trio is superb, no matter what angle you look at it...

Bob Berg was a Juilliard graduate influenced heavily by the late 1964–67 period of John Coltrane's music. He was known for his extremely expressive playing and tone...
...Bob Berg was a phenomenal player of the tenor saxophone. His music was a flexible reinterpretation of hard bop, fast and dazzling. He was a natural swinger. Berg displayed a flawless technical command of his instrument through its every register at even the fastest tempo; melodically as well as harmonically sure, with the ability of being able to negotiate exceedingly difficult chord sequences with apparent ease, together with a big sound that owed much to the influence of Sonny Rollins and Coleman Hawkins, rather than that of Lester Young...
