Arild Andersen Trio - The Triangle

Arild Andersen's trio emphasises the writing and playing of Greek pianist Vassilis Tsabropoulos, whose melodic improvising and sense of form are influenced by his background as a classical musician.

Tsabropoulos's tunes, and his arrangement of Ravel here, cast the jazz 'piano trio' genre in another light � as do his contributions to Andersen's pieces and the collective improvisation European Triangle'. Arild Andersen's driving bass and John Marshall's inventive drums give the music its sense of propulsion. Recorded 2003.

Personnel: Vassilis Tsabropoulos (piano); Arild Andersen (double bass); John Marshall (drums)
