University of Nottingham (Djanogly Recital Hall)
in Nottingham, UK on May 6, 2006
Trio is the Tomasz Stanko Quartet minus Tomasz Stanko. Their music mixes the energy of the Esbjorn Svensson Trio with the delicacy of Tord Gustavsen. The Djanogly Recital Hall has a lively acoustic and the group played without a PA system, which suited the music perfectly - sometimes the subtlety of the instruments' timbre gets lost with amplification. There seems to be something of a resurgence of piano trios in European jazz, and these guys are at the forefront.
