Intimacy, Intensity, and Pure Joy

Thomas Sejthen Trio specializes in minimalist expression and tight, unique ensemble playing. All compositions are by Thomas Sejthen, and listeners can expect to enter an intimate and intense universe full of joy.

The trio's overall expression is a listening experience with beautiful ballads that blend calm and melancholic soundscapes. However, there are also songs with youthful energy as well as presence and nerve with respect for the great masters of history. Through a collective approach to music, the trio manages to renew the traditional saxophone trio sound.

The trio is currently working on the album This Is Our Year

"There is something intense and intimate about the expression. Something universal and yet personal. But also, a consistently refreshing and energetic pulse that helps to lift the music and broaden the expression to something digestible – even outside the world of jazz."
Ivan Rod, 2023.

"Many may associate such piano-less trios with Sonny Rollins in his prime. And it's perfectly fine to compare this trio to how Rollins "wreaked havoc" with the songs on some of his trio records. And here I think this trio has some of the same energy. Listen to a sample of "Maggy", a great song that is brilliantly interpreted by the three."
Jan Granlie, Salt Peanuts, 2023.
