In 2003, the Keith Anderson Trio comprised Jason Thomas on drums and Bobby Sparks on keyboards. [11]

The New York Times and Jazz Times writer Nate Chinen quotes Anderson as stating: "Texas musicians have a different approach to playing. It's not from a mechanical standpoint... The way we play is not based upon what we see on paper. It's based on all feeling and listening." [12]
