Bobo Stenson Trio Bobo Stenson/Germany 2021

Bobo Stenson’s immovable trio, consisting of pianist Bobo Stenson, a Nordic master on par with Keith Jarrett, and one of the best of the modern era, exploring new possibilities for piano trios since the Bill Evans Trio and advancing music, along with bassist Anders Jormin and drummer Jon Feldt. A beautiful latest live performance that follows the royal road of ECM, marking the 13th anniversary of the formation of the still-active Stenson/Jormin/Feldt Trio, is now available! … This trio’s repertoire ranges from standards to contemporary music and folk music, and for this performance they have incorporated a wide variety of songs, boasting a wide range of musicality, as well as originals by the members. The crystallization of unparalleled beauty, ripened through the outstanding performances of each member, touches the heart. This is the finest piano trio since the death of the Keith Jarrett Trio! You will be drawn in by the imaginative playing without even realizing it… Stenson’s persuasive piano is reminiscent of Keith in his prime, Yormin overwhelms with his technique and presence that is comparable to Scott LaFaro and Eddie Gomez of the legendary Bill Evans Trio, and the three members of Feldt, who can be said to be successors to Christensen, develop excellent improvisations full of tension that do away with bop and 4/4 beats, and sometimes produce breathtakingly beautiful melodies. There is a good balance between the quiet aesthetic scenes that are prominent in studio works and the dynamic numbers that you cannot experience in studio works, and this is an exquisite performance that you will enjoy until the very end without getting bored! If you’re a piano trio fan, you can’t go without listening to the superb performance of the Stenson Trio, one of ECM’s most representative piano trios and one of the best European piano trios in recent years… Live at Pierre Bpoulez Saal,Berlin,Germany November.04.2021 Soundboard Recording EX 65 min Bobo Stenson – Piano Anders Jormin – Bass Jon Falt – Drums 1.
