Giuffre Memorial Trio - The Five Ways (2022)

RMN Classical is thrilled and proud to announce that “The Five Ways” the debut album by The Giuffre Memorial Trio will be released worldwide on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music and all the digital platforms and stores on November 18, 2022.

Produced by Rick Romano for RMN Classical, and distributed by RMN Music, “The Five Ways” includes 13 tracks, some of which were composed and arranged by the Trio, while others were taken as a homage from the 1963 album by Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley and Steve Swallow titled “Free Fall”.

The Giuffre Memorial Trio is composed by Roger Arve Vigulf (clarinet), Per Christian Arnesen (bass) and Bjørn Norvall Hoemsnes (piano), and was created in 2021 to pay homage to the legendary Free Fall recording from 1963 by Jimmy Giuffre, Paul Bley and Steve Swallow. In the tradition of the free improvisation genre, the Trio’s music is made on the spot at the moment, with what they call “compovisation” (not “improvisation”), due to their background as classically trained musicians and composers – rather than jazz musicians.
