Hoff Somsen Lindholm trio

 

A brand-new, exciting piano trio has burst onto the European jazz scene: Hoff Somsen Lindholm. Jan Gunnar Hoff (Northwest), Jasper Somsen (Netherlands), and Carsten Lindholm (Denmark) share a love of Nordic jazz, blended with strong influences from both the American jazz tradition and European classical music.

The original music of this powerful Dutch-Scandinavian trio is characterized by open communication, stylistic diversity, and aesthetic expressiveness, with their lyrical compositions unfolding in a stream of improvisatory energy. Jan Gunnar, Jasper, and Carsten share a positive attitude to life, which is clearly reflected in their compositions, improvisations, and personal performances.

After their first meeting in Bayreuth in September 2023, the trio decided to enter the studio to record their debut album. "Northwest" was recorded, mixed, and mastered at the magnificent Millfactory Studios in Copenhagen by sound engineer Boe Larsen. Before and after the album's release, the trio performed in Norway, Corsica (France), Germany and the historically famous Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen.

 

Dress rehearsal

 

Following up on their successful first album, "Northwest," the trio has decided to create a second album. This second album will be recorded in the Netherlands. In fact, the album will be recorded the day after the concert at Jazz in Wageningen. A real dress rehearsal!
It's our opportunity to send the trio into the studio with a huge positive boost! Will you come help?

 

The press is full of praise!

 

All three men are experienced and versatile musicians, creating a collective atmosphere, leaving space for one another. There is a beautiful composition by Somsen, So Long, in which the melancholy of farewell is strikingly expressed.Jazzism, NL
