A New Episode In Life Pt. Ii

JASPER SOMSEN TRIO

This album follows “A New Episode In Life Pt. I,” which was released previously this year. The album was recorded spontaneously after Part I only took one day to record instead of the planned two. Included in this release are free-form improvisation pieces from jazz masters as well as some jazz standards. Jasper Somsen writes: “In May 2016, Challenge Records’ general director Anne de Jonge and I discussed a new international trio album recording, featuring Andre Ceccarelli, one of my favorite drummers… Searching for a pianist, Jean-Michel Pilc’s wonderful music, solo piano and piano trio performances struck me as lightning. Although it actually took me some time to decide, from the very first moment I was already convinced I wanted him to join us…They instantly agreed to recrd the album. It was pretty exciting, since the trio never performed together…”
