With Forward the trio Torque presents a remarkable debut album. Three unique characters, yet one tight-knit collective. And they have already proved their unity and the passion to their music by recording the entire album in only one day. Contributing the majority of the compositions, pianist Koen Schalkwijk already played on a variety of well-known stages like the North Sea Jazz Festival and the Bimhuis. Mathias Polligkeit on the bass and Antoine Duijkers on the drums are not only supplying a solid rhythmic foundation on which the expressive compositions are evolved, but also guide them to their highs. While displaying a deep understanding of the broad tradition and contemporary developments of the jazz world, the influence of both pop music and classical music on the collective sound can!t be overheard. The musicians are moving effortlessly through the pieces and follow the flow they are creating collaboratively. The lyrical compositions of the members are forming the basis for a style of improvisation that emphasizes the trio as a coherent unit.Title: Forward

“Like e.s.t., Torque flirts with sounds and grooves from pop and funk, cites Bach and Chopin and interweaves it all into songs of haunting beauty. But they develop further into the musical now, the textures of which are being weaved more rapidly and densely. And they stand out from other e.s.t. epigones with authenticity and vigor.” (kultur-tipp.ch)
