One Summer Night
Label: Catalog: MR 874568 Format: COMPACT DISC TRIOSENCEStern devoted a special report to the band, calling them ''the new faces of German jazz'' and giving their albums the highest rating. In fact, triosence has been making an increasing splash in the trade press. ''The new milestone in jazz trios'', ''an example of a musical trinity'' and ''in music, the sun's rising fo rus in the west too''. These and similar quotes are the reactions of well-known magazines to this exceptional jazz trio, containing Bernhard Schuler, Stephan Emig and Matthias Akeo Nowak. Since its founding in 1999, triosence can be proud of an impressive trophy cabinet, from first prize at ''Jugend jazzt'' to various cultural and compositional awards, with a best new entry in the international jazz charts in Germany extending their portfolio. In their tour schedule, alongside concerts in Germany and tours in the USA, are trips to Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Spain, and many others. This adds up to an unshakeable testimony that triosence, with their stylistic range covering jazz, fusion, folk, pop and world music, excites both sworn connoisseurs as well as newcomers to jazz. After five studio albums, triosence are now releasing One Summer Night on Mons Records. This live album is very special, and that applies to the musical content as well as the origin of its production. Aside from the brand new composition ''The Road Ahead'', the selection of tracks on One Summer Night contains a ''best of'' the previous triosence albums, yet it presents them in completely new and unheard arrangements. In general, triosence show with One Summer Night how exciting, energy-charged and downright electrifying a piano trio can sound; one that happily faces the challenges of further development and maturity, that understands the flow of change as a powerful opportunity, and that can take heart from it. A trio that takes and refines its opportunities, which this live recording made in a single summer night demonstrates. Price: $21.99 |
