Wolfert Brederode Trio – Black Ice | ECM Records

Wolfert Brederode Trio Black Ice Wolfert Brederode: piano Gulli Gudmundsson: double bass Jasper van Hulten: drums +++ Available on CD + Download +++ Black Ice is a nice image for Dutch pianist Wolfert Brederode’s new trio music, with its gleaming lyricism, transparency, and hint of danger, as well as sleek melodic invention both from the leader and from Icelandic bassist Gulli Gudmundsson. Brederode and Gudmundsson have collaborated often over the last two decades in contexts from free improvisation to theatre music and have a keenly honed intuitive understanding. Jasper van Hulten is a resourceful addition to the team, a tone-sensitive drummer adept at embellishing the sensitive musical language and sense of interplay. The album, recorded at Lugano’s Studio RSI in July 2015 and produced by Manfred Eicher. ECM 2476 https://www.ecmrecords.com
