Michel Bisceglia, Werner Lauscher & Marc Lehan - The Virgo (2026) [Hi-Res]

The Virgo, the eighth studio album by the Michel Bisceglia Trio, marks a remarkable milestone: a celebration of 30 years of continuous artistic collaboration. Released in April 2026, this anniversary recording captures the trio at a peak of musical maturity, where decades of shared experience have evolved into an exceptionally refined and intimate group sound. Featuring Michel Bisceglia on piano, Werner Lauscher on double bass, and Marc Léhan on drums, the ensemble has preserved its original lineup since the late 1990s—an extraordinary rarity in contemporary jazz and a key element in the depth of their interplay.

With The Virgo, the trio presents a collection of new original compositions that further develop their signature style, characterized by lyrical expressiveness, cinematic atmospheres, and a delicate balance between structure and improvisation. The music unfolds with subtle dynamics and nuanced textures, blending influences from jazz and classical traditions into a cohesive and timeless sonic language. Each piece reflects both introspection and forward movement, where space and silence are used as expressively as melody and rhythm.

As album number eight in a carefully crafted discography, The Virgo is not only a celebration of the trio’s enduring artistic journey but also a confident step into the future. It stands as a testament to three decades of musical trust, dialogue, and evolution, offering listeners a deeply immersive experience in which every note carries intention and every moment resonates with emotional clarity.
