Art Barduhn, Glenn Thompson, and Russ Phillips formed the the Art Barduhn Trio in the early 1950s. The trio performed at many venues in Seattle and elsewhere, with regular gigs at the Georgian room of the Olympic Hotel, the Grove Club in the Grosvenor House, as well as in other states, including a summer stint at the Gay 90s Bar in the Last Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. The group also recorded music with Linden records.
