About Jeff Sulima
Chronograph Records identifies Sulima as the drummer in Redline Trio and documents earlier performing residencies in Europe and Asia. Within the trio, his role is tied to an ensemble practice developed through a weekly Calgary residency at Betty Lou’s Library beginning in 2016.[1][2]
The label’s release guide presents Underdog as a 2023 Redline Trio recording with Sulima, bassist Steve Shepard, and tenor saxophonist Mark DeJong, joined by trumpeter Brad Turner and pianist Steve Hudson. It notes that every trio member contributed compositions to the session.[2]
Redline Trio’s official biography places the weekly residency alongside concerts across Calgary and Western Canada and festival appearances. The label profile keeps Sulima’s individual drum role distinct from the guest personnel featured on different dates and recordings.[1][3]
