The
Espen Eriksen Trio
, after worldwide tours that further refined their signature sound, present
Never Ending January
, their third album. Beautifully recorded and mixed at Propeller Studio in Oslo, the album focuses on typically Scandinavian elements such as folk music, melancholia, and the deep woods. In that respect it's fair to say that they belong to the same tradition as
Tord Gustavsen
and the late
Esbjörn Svensson
, even
Jan Johansson
in some respects, but without really sounding like any of them. But it's also fair to say that the trio's less-is-more approach is in stark contrast to many contemporary piano trios, with shorter tunes and a strong focus on melodic content. Pianist Espen Eriksen's musical background is varied, ranging from pop music to jazz and the church organ. He has played with top Norwegian jazz musicians like
Bendik Hofseth
,
Mats Eilertsen
, and
Thomas Strønen
, and was the pianist, arranger, and composer for singer
Christina Bjordal
for three years leading up to her international debut,
Brighter Days
(Universal, 2006). Bassist
Lars Tormod Jenset
lived and worked as a musician in Copenhagen for seven years before relocating to Norway in 2007. He is also a member of
Hot n Spicy
(Denmark/Norway),
Bendik Giske Kvintett
(Norway), and
Rodent
(Iceland).
Andreas Bye
is one of Norway's most-requested drummers in jazz and pop. He was a member of
Bugge Wesseltoft's New Conception of Jazz
and has played with
John Scofield
,
Joshua Redman
,
John Taylor
,
Dhafer Youssef
,
Nils Petter Molvær
,
Håkon Kornstad
, and many others.
