Sphere

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, lumpy 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.
