Tingvall Trio - Beat (2014) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96Hz]

Over the last ten years, Tingvall Trio has evolved into an unparalleled success story for 'Jazz made in Germany'. What was once a rough & tumble band from Hamburg, is now regarded as one of the premier German export hits in its genre. And it's certainly no coincidence that this ensemble has managed to unite different generations of listeners behind its musical concept so well that even today's media-inundated young audience has been regained for Jazz. They have won three ECHO Jazz awards as Ensemble of the Year or Live Act of the Year, four Jazz Awards respectively for more than 10,000 units of recorded audio media sold in Germany for each of their four studio albums thus far, live appearances in far and had more than 20 countries.

The three players come from different countries. Despite the wide variety in their backgrounds, a level very much their own emerged from their creative alliance. Among the mentors who taught Swedish pianist Martin Tingvall his craft was Bobo Stenson. Jürgen Spiegel from Bremen, Germany gigged with artists like Nneka, but audiences were “boffoed” above all by his enormously multifaceted playing and the vividness of this percussion work. Double Bass player Omar Rodriguez Calvo from Cuba was already a sideman of Ramon Valle and Roy Hargrove among others. With the addition of Calvo , the music fluctuating back and forth between Scandinavian Jazz/Folk melodies and straight 4 rock rhythms obtained a southern lightness that easily brought listeners to their feet. Meanwhile is seen as one of Europe’s top jazz acts at all.
