Espen Eriksen Trio with Andy Sheppard
Espen Eriksen Trio and Andy Sheppard team up once again for what has always proved a perfect match. To quote All About Jazz, 'the symbiosis between the saxophonist and the trio is truly remarkable'.
In 2018, the quartet released their first album together, Perfectly Unhappy, which was followed up with a live album and then 2023's studio album As Good As It Gets - an album elected the 6th best jazz album of the year by Jazzwise.
After 18 years, seven albums and regular touring on four continents, Espen Eriksen Trio is firmly established on the international jazz scene, thanks to their unique group sound. With a career spanning over four decades, working with the likes of George Russell, Gil Evans and Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard is truly one of Europe’s leading saxophonists.
Together, they create top-of-the-line melodic jazz that has left critics reaching for their finest superlatives, and drawing comparisons with the legendary 'Belonging' quartet led by Keith Jarrett and Jan Garbarek.
Together these tracks comprise an album of classy, inventive jazz improvisation that's pretty near perfect.
