Espen Eriksen Trio Thu 26th May 2016

The jazz world is not short on piano trios, but it’s not every day one comes across a new trio with a personal musical language. The Norwegian Espen Eriksen Trio plays highly melodical and lyrical instrumentals with elements from Scandinavian folk and melancholia and shades of the deep woods. It’s definitely jazz, but their less is more approach is in contrast to most of their contemporaries, with structures almost like pop songs and with a strong focus on melodies and short solos.

Band on the Wall presents Cory Henry, The Revival Project. The Revival, his latest release and touring project, showcases Henry’s deep musical roots in gospel, jazz and soul. Although The Revival setlist draws from a well-known canon (from old gospels to Stevie Wonder), Henry stretches and pulls, driving the songs into unfamiliar territory and coming up with altogether new takes.
