Open and sensitive from three fabulous musicians
Crispell/Andersson/Østergaard er en ny trio sammensatt av den danske trommeslageren Michala Østergaard-Nielsen. En klassisk klavertrio på papiret – men ikke i praksis!
Musikken består både av komposisjoner av Østergaard-Nielsen og av frie improvisasjoner, her er det tre som virkelig kan det faget og tør strekke seg langt utover scenekanten! Trioen spiller en verden full av ukjente steder, lyriske møter, dissonans og harmoni. Her i finner vi det kraftfullt rungende og det stille vibrerende – fremført i en åpen og intuitiv atmosfære.
Marilyn Crispell is a world-known piano player and composer in the field of jazz, improvisation and art-music. She’s been collaborating with musicians such as Anthony Braxton, Paul Motian and most recently Joe Lovano in “Trio Tapestry”. Marilyn Crispell has released several albums on ECM. “She is one of a very few pianists who rise to the challenge of free jazz” – The New York Times.
Thommy Andersson is a fabulous bass player and has during the last 20+ years collaborated with many different musicians from different cultures around the world on tours, projects and recordings. Besides that, he is also a composer, arranger and producer. “Thommy Andersson knows how to play the world s most grounded bass and at the same time facilitate exalted music” – Jazz Special.
