A Fascinating Thing About Jazz Is What Can Arise Through Force Of Circumstance Rather Than The Result Of Planning. The Drummer Scheduled To Appear In A Trio With Jan Lundgren At The Ystad Sweden Jazz Festival Had To Cancel Because Of The Pandemic, Which Forced Lundgren To Rethink The Gig. The Pianist - Who Is Also Artistic Director Of The Festival - Quickly Realised That Things Could Also Work Without A Drummer. Serendipitously, The Name Of Emile Parisien Came To His Mind... And A New Trio Was Born. The Three Musicians Had Never Played Together In This Configuration Before; So, After A Single Day Of Rehearsals, The Band Took To The Festival’s Main Stage On 1 August 2020.

Jan Lundgren Is One Of Those Pioneers Who Gave European Jazz Its Distinct Identity And Freed It From American Jazz. The Ystadbased
Pianist Combines Virtuosity, An Acute Sense Of Tonal Colour, Awareness Of Form From European Classical Music And His Own Folk Music Tradition. For Him, To Make Music Where Many Different Genres Coalesce Is Both Inevitable And Natural.
