Jesper Nordberg - TRIO (2023)

Jesper Nordberg Trio is a group based in Copenhagen (DK) and Malmö (SE), featuring the double bass player Jesper Nordberg, violinist Stefan Pöntinen and trumpetist Ruhi Erdogan. With Nordberg's compositions as a starting point, the trio's playing can be characterized by close interplay, radical shifts, and having elements ranging from experimental improvisation, Balkan music, Scandinavian folklore, jazz and expressionism.

Jesper Nordberg's warm tone and rhythmic displacements meet Ruhi's trumpet playing, that gives the listener associations to everything from Miles Davis to a Turkish village wedding, and Stefan's brave and innovative expression on the violin, all resulting in a completely unique musical landscape.
