The trio: L-R: Andreas Bye, Espen Eriksen, Lars Tormod Jenset |
“Folk songs, like for example lullabies, have this quality that they, with only few notes, can produce more musical meaning and emotional impact than many fancy and “fabricated” jazz themes,” leader Espen Eriksen as said (interview).The music of the trio (below) is simple, clear, melodic, and based on song structures, and close to the aesthetic of ECM (they record for Rune Grammofon).
