Stefan Orins Trio - October 11 (2022) Hi Res

The Stefan Orins Trio’s October 11 is titled after the date this live recording was made in 2021, at the Tourcoing Jazz Festival. Oct. 11 also commemorates the day in 1961 when Daisaku Ikeda, a Japanese philosopher who Orins admires, first traveled to France.

Due on May 27 through Bandcamp and circum-disc.com, October 11 features Stefan Orins on piano, Christophe Hache on double bass, and Peter Orins on drums.

Double bass introduces the opening “Natt Resa,” and is soon joined by piano and drums. The track develops into a melodic, thematic number with ample room given to the talents of the Stefan Orins Trio, with a notable bass solo at its core. A gorgeously worked dialogue between the piano and drums provides contrasting patterns and counterpoint rhythms, as the two musicians drive the music forward.
