The Bobo Stenson Trio’s ability of covering far-reaching idioms and wide-ranging repertoire within the scope of their personal diction has become both hallmark and custom, inspiring the New York Times to say the pianist “makes sublime piano-trio records without over-playing. It's pulsating, with long improvised phrases; it's alive.” Charting an equally subtle and idiosyncratic path through originals and melodies derived from various Scandinavian composers, the distinguished group proves of a particularly supple alchemy on Sphere. Here, a variety of musical tenets coexist in the unique blend, which the Swedish pianist has wrought, developed and refined over decades of collaboration with ECM and Manfred Eicher, who, as Bobo says “brings out the musicians’ best qualities” and produced the record. The pianist’s cohorts, Anders Jormin on bass and drummer Jon Fält, together accompanying the leader since Cantando in 2008, are more than ideal musical partners to Bobo’s soft touch and infinite appetite for interplay. Bobo: “We don't have a way of playing ‘ready-made’. Things crystallise in the moment and we adjust to that. And that's the quintessence. That's the joy of playing together, to never do the same thing twice and to be determined about that.” The album was recorded at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano, in April 2022.

amazing to see them playing in rhe studio. i think they found a original way of trio playing in jazz.
CD arrived in the post fifteen minutes ago. Getting ready to listen to it for the first time.
Every ECM release is exciting but Bobo Stenson is always right at the top of the list. Recent releases by him and Ralph Towner? Who can complain?!
Bobo Stenson is one of my favorites, and this interview confirms what I thought-that is about his (and his trio’s) free and inclusive approach. Who else plays, among others, Bartok, Ornette, Nordic folk music, Ellington and Sondheim as part of their repertoire, and in a very personal free style? I love this trio. They play so well together. There’s a lot of communication and empathy, if you will.
