“Superb musicians at the top of their game” - BBC
With their highly melodic and lyrical instrumentals and “less is more” approach, Espen Eriksen Trio is often credited for their unique voice within today’s jazz scene by the international press. To quote Stuart Nicholson in Jazzwise: ”One of the most unified, individual and recognizable group sounds in European jazz".
After 19 years, eight critically acclaimed records and worldwide touring, the trio is tighter than ever and has reached an almost telepathic level of interplay. And a global audience certainly have embraced the trio’s unique sound built upon a rich repertoire, all signed pianist Eriksen. Captivating and lyrical, often melancholic and uplifting at the same time, these are all real tunes.
This concert is part of an extensive UK tour promoting the trio's latest album “Almost There”, released in September 2026.

Espen Eriksen TrioEET plays highly melodical and lyrical instrumentals with elements from Scandinavian folk and melancholia and shades of the deep woods. It´s definitely jazz, but their less is more approach is in contrast to most of their contemporaries.
