Max Petersen Trio - Dream Dancing (2016)

With Lukas Traxel on bass and Jimmy Macbride on drums, the trio plays Max Petersen’s original compositions with eloquence and virtuosity. As a European, the young German pianist searches for an amalgam between American and European Jazz. “When I studied in New York in 2014 I realized, that the musicians of the Jazz-capital aren’t as informed about musicians in Europe as we are about them.” Says the Zurich based Pianist in an interview. He believes that the key to a new, contemporary style of Jazz lies in a long term and intense working relationship. In this new style the “roots and soul” of African American blues confronts the tradition of European classical music and the modern European sound esthetic hits the irresistible groove of urban New York City. Be there to see it happen!
