Espen Eriksen Trio

Lyrical and catchy: Record release for Espen Eriksen Trio's eighth album. Booking the Espen Eriksen Trio is always a safe bet. Who would say no to a sold-out Victoria, a great atmosphere and one of the country's most popular jazz bands? After nineteen years, seven critically acclaimed albums and worldwide tours, the trio of Eriksen, Jenset and Bye has reached an almost telepathic level of interplay. Audiences worldwide embrace the trio's melodic minimalism built over a rich repertoire of catchy and lyrical tunes - often melancholic and uplifting at the same time. Espen Eriksen Trio is something as rare as jazz performers who sell records. Seven releases so far, two of them together with British star saxophonist Andy Sheppard. Now the eighth album is on the way and we will celebrate it together with the band at Victoria. As the renowned jazz critic Stuart Nicholson wrote in Jazzwise: Get ready for "one of the most unified, individual and recognizable group sounds in European jazz". Photo: CF-Wesenberg, Kolonihaven.no
