Espen Eriksen Trio with Andy Sheppard

eriksen has written eight enchanting and lyrical tunes, often melancholic and uplifting at the same time, which will surely speak to followers of both the trio and alike.

The music relies on highly melodic and lyrical instrumentals and a “less is more” approach and is often credited for its unique voice within today’s jazz scene by the international press. Eriksen´s background ranges from jazz to pop music and the church organ, while Jenset lived and worked as a musician in Copenhagen for seven years before relocating to Norway. Andreas Bye is one of Norway´s most requested drummers in jazz and pop and has played with Bugge Wesseltoft, John Scofield, Joshua Redman, Dhafer Yousef, Nils Petter Molvær and many others.
