Espen Eriksen Trio (NO)

Thursday,  October 16, 8 p.m. at Philly Joe's Jazz Club

Espen Eriksen Trio was formed in 2007 and has released five critically acclaimed records on the Norwegian label Rune Grammofon. The trio’s music relies on highly melodic and lyrical  instrumentals and a “less is more” approach and is often credited for its unique voice within  today’s jazz scene by the international press.

The trio also has an ongoing collaboration with the British saxophone star Andy Sheppard with whom they’ve released two studio albums and given multiple sold out tours in Europe.

The trio is tighter than ever and has reached an almost telepathic level of interplay. Their audience certainly have embraced the trio’s unique sound built upon a rich repertoire by pianist Eriksen. Captivating and lyrical, often melancholic and uplifting at the same time - these are all real tunes.

So, in Jazzwise’s words, get ready for “one of the most unified, individual and recognizable group sounds in European jazz".

Line-up:

Espen Eriksen - piano, compositions

Lars Tormod Jenset - double bass

Andreas Bye - drums
