Bobo Stenson Trio Bobo Stenson/Sweden 2022

Now that the Keith Jarrett Trio has disappeared, the last piano trio is Bobo Stenson, a Nordic master who has explored new possibilities for piano trios since the Bill Evans Trio and is one of the best in the modern era, with Anders Jormin on bass and Jon Feldt on drums. This is the latest beautiful live performance by Bobo Stenson, who is following the royal road of ECM, celebrating the 14th anniversary of the band's formation!!! In 2008, the Stenson/Yormin/Felt Trio made a further leap with the masterpiece "Cantando" by adding the young drummer Jon Felt. Since then, the undisputed trio has continued to release powerful works from ECM and is still active today. The Stenson/Yormin/Felt Trio celebrates its 14th anniversary of formation on April 21, 2022 at Umeå Jazz Studio in Sweden. This must-listen album for ECM/piano trio fans has arrived, recorded on an eye-opening, ultra-high quality stereo soundboard with careful mastering by the label itself! ! ! This trio's repertoire ranges from standards to contemporary music and folk, but this performance also includes various types of songs boasting a wide range of musicality, including originals by the members, and the crystallization of unparalleled beauty, matured through the outstanding performance of each member, penetrates into the heart. This is the best piano trio after 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!
