Berg Espen (Trio)

Bölge Berg Espen (Trio)

The jazz trio format is tried and tested, to put it mildly, and has become one of the basic ensemble formats of modern jazz. Here is a trio that has its feet planted firmly within the tradition, but still offers something unique to the listener. The Espen Berg Trio made its mark with the group's first album, 'Monster', in 2015.

The trio was referred to as "the biggest and most important musical discovery in the first half of 2016" by Jazz Japan magazine, and they have toured extensively in Japan afterwards.

This is agroup that is positively overflowing with talent and musical enthusiasm. Pianist and composer Espen Berg, along with Barour Reinert Poulsen (double bass) and

Simon Olderskog Albertsen (drums), presents a series of enormously dynamic compositions, where the complex, the melodious and the lyrical are merged in new and surprising ways. Espen's melodic, yet rhythmically highly complex music both challenges, and gets challenged by the trio's dynamic, spontaneous and temperamental interplay. The Espen Berg Trio delivers modern, extrovert and accessible music that deserves to reach a large audience.
