ESPEN BERG TRIO MEETS VILLU VESKI

Villu Veski is one of the best-known Estonian jazz musicians both in Estonia and internationally who has given concerts in prestigious concert halls: Tokyo Opera City,Berliner Philharmonie, London Queen Elizabeth Hall and others.He has participated in important international festivals: Rochester Jazz Festival in NewYork, Pori Jazz Festival in Finland, Natt Jazz in Norway, Brussels Jazz Marathon in Belgium, World Saxophone Congress in Montreal and the British Saxophone Congress at the RoyalCollege of Music in London.Referred to as one of the best trios in existence today by the British Jazz Journal, this award-winning trio is one of the leading voices from Norway that continually seeks to renew the legacy of the piano trio and the Nordic jazz scene. Since 2014, Espen Berg Trio has toured extensively in Europe and Asia, outselling concert halls and famous clubs like Ronnie Scotts in London. Their music might be reminiscent of that of Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett, Shai Maestro or Tigran Hamasyan, but have a unique sound characterized by their playful and organic way of dealing with complex rhythmics, rich and deep understanding of harmony, heartfelt melodies, immense technical abilities and a highly engaging interplay.Line-up: Villu Veski - saxofonEspen Berg - piano Bárður Reinert Poulsen - bassSimon Albertsen - drums Link to video
