Trio ensemble that sparkles and reaches far

Music from internationally acclaimed Danish pianist Jacob Anderskov is expected to be contemporary in most senses of the word, often even "seismographic" according to reviews, sensing the tectonic changes in music ahead of most of us.

But Anderskov also has a deep knowledge and intense love of musical tradition, both brand new and ancient, which will be heard here. 

It will be intense, dynamic, and spiritual. It is the soul of early jazz history carried all the way up to today and into the future.

Jacob Anderskov explores, transforms, submits to, and distorts the models of jazz piano tradition. Stride piano, swing, bebop, blues, radical abstraction, and free improvisation merge into an expressive entity.

The trio plays a repertoire ranging from Bud Powell and the Velvet Underground to Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, and My Bloody Valentine as an acoustic piano trio.

The sound lies somewhere between two of Anderskov's previous projects, Impressions of Radiohead and Granular Alchemy - but of course within an entirely different repertoire.

Anders AC Christensen and Jakob Høyer have played with everyone from Paul Motian to Black Sun, Trentemøller, and Bill Frisell. The ensemble sparkles. The music is soulful and instantly catchy.
