    Espen Eriksen Trio 'End Of Summer'

    £12.99

    After the highly successful "Perfectly Unhappy" album with Andy Sheppard, the trio is back with a new album featuring seven brand new songs from the pianist.

    Captivating and lyrical, always melodic, often melancholic and uplifting at the same time, these are all real tunes. After 10 years, four albums and regular touring on four continents, the trio is tighter than ever and have reached an almost telepathic level of interplay.

    "End Of Summer" was recorded in Oslo in April during lockdown. After getting all their concerts cancelled because of the pandemic, Espen says it was very inspiring to still be able to meet in a recording studio to make new music and keep it all alive.

    This being their first recording in five years as a trio, Espen is also keen to stress that the collaboration with Andy was not a one-off and that the plan is to "continue working together for a very long time".

    Espen Eriksen Trio 'You Had Me At Goodbye' CD

    £12.99

    The jazz world is not short on piano trios, but it's not every day that one comes across a new trio with a personal musical language.

    This debut release from the Norwegian trio contains highly melodical and lyrical instrumentals with elements from Scandinavian folk and melancholia and shades of the deep woods.

    It's definitely jazz, but their less is more approach is in contrast to most of their contemporaries, with structures almost like pop songs and with a strong focus on melodies and short solos. It's fair to place them in a tradition with Tord Gustavsen Trio and the late Esbjörn Svensson Trio, but without really sounding like any of them. A most welcome addition to our catalogue.

    Fantastic sleeve by Kim Hiorthøy, the 6 page digipack being a piece of art in itself.

    Tracklisting:
    1. Anthem
    2. Grinde
    3. In The Woods
    4. Masaka Tsara
    5. Not Even In Brazil
    6. Intermezzo
    7. On The Jar
    8. To Whom It May Concern
