Espen Berg Trio

Espen Berg Trio is an award-winning piano trio from Norway. Fjære consists of seven new compositions by Berg and was recorded during a time where being together has been difficult.

Norwegian pianist and composer Espen Berg is recognized as an iconic solo artist, having won Norway's biggest music award, "JazZtipendiatet" in 2016. But now he's back with his trio, featuring bassist Bárður Reinert Poulsen and drummer Simon Olderskog Albertsen, and they've just released a new album, Bolge.

With nine exceptionally strong trio and solo albums Espen Berg (40) has become one of the most central and tone-setting Norwegian jazz musicians today. November 24 marks the release of his new album Water Fabric on Odin Records, which shows completely new sides of Espen as a composer. He has put together a hand-picked ensemble consisting of six high-profile Norwegian musicians with a background in jazz, classical, Norwegian folk music and Indian classical music. This composition reflects Espen's ability to make any musical expression his own, and with Water Fabric he has created a melodious, boundary-breaking, and breathtaking work that both oozes with the joy of playing and also shows a deep respect for musical traditions and craftsmanship.

Noctilucent is the first album in a series of two re-releasing Espen Berg's remarkable early works, originally released on Aklang.
