Serenades: New Piano Trio

"What The Fugue?" deals with one of the most exciting and complex musical genres in Western music history: the fugue. What this central musical form of the Classical and Romantic periods can mean today is impressively demonstrated here. Instead of remaining in awe of their baroque role models, the trio revives their art of fugue with the spirit of jazz and dares to perform a balancing act between the formal rigour of classical music and the freedom and improvisational joy of jazz. Improvisation, strictly composed forms, fine chamber music and uninhibited grooves go hand in hand.
