To claim that the world has plenty of jazz piano trios on hand is no exaggeration: in recent years the basic classic combo has been experiencing a resounding revival. Yet a searching look among the trios on tour for the essence of this 'movement' - when it all comes down to audience acceptance and an unmistakable sound all it's own - the Tingvall Trio from Hamburg stands out on an international scale.. Martin Tingvall, pianist, hymn writer and the man who gave the band it's name, comments on the new compositions: "The songs always kick things off for us. With this album I've tried to compose in a way that points out new directions to us. We're testing new forms of expression, but at the same time we naturally want to be recognized as the Tingvall Trio. This time the music is clearly the boss, not the trio."

Following "Skagerrak" and "Norr" the Tingvall Trio finalizes their trilogy of Nordic stories with "Vattensaga". This 2009 release was recorded at the famous Arte Suono studio in Italy, best known for a series of great ECM recordings, the album boasts impeccable sound and the outstanding song-writing qualities of Martin Tingvall. Thirteen new musical pearls, featuring the sound paintings of drummer Jürgen Spiegel , the Mediterranean lightness of double bass player Omar Rodruguez Calvo and the dazzling piano playing of Martin Tingvall (here experiencing a Fazioli grand piano for the first time). A definite highlight of the trio’s recording history so far.

Swedish composer Martin Tingvall's vivaciously rock-powered piano trio have a fanbase all over Europe, and in Dubai and South Africa, too. Now they are aiming to break Britain and the US, as the late Esbjorn Svensson's EST did. This album, their fourth, made the pop charts in Sweden and Germany, and features much of the catchily singable material they played on their UK debut last year.

was founded in 2003 by the Swedish pianist and composer Martin Tingvall. The pieces composed by him are characterized by catchy melodies which sweep along not only jazz lovers quickly and tend to stay with you long afterwards. Not only the technical ability of the musicians carries away. The three Hamburgers play Scandinavian jazz with Cuban reminiscences and an easy rock'n'roll attitude. In the expressive ballads also Nordic melancholy and liveliness resonate, however. Listening closely one can recognize traditional Swedish folk songs as one of the elements of the compositions.

With their 2012 album Vagen, this internationally popular piano trio led by Swedish composer Martin Tingvall suggested that a genuinely interesting spin on the legacy of fellow-Swede Esbjörn Svensson was on the cards. But Beat feels like a sidestep from challenges they have more than enough firepower to take on, although it still offers plenty of lively pop-jazz accessibility. The opening Den Gamla Eken is a pretty tune with a classical undertow, that turns to coaxing swing and then a big, chord-hammering crescendo – but that progression, the dominant characteristic of the set, soon has a formulaic familiarity.

"Skagerrak" is the 2006 debut album of the acclaimed Tinvall Trio. An outstanding jazz piano trio! With a wonderful warm sound, captured by Iceland's genius at the mixing desk, Hrolfur Vagnsson, this album is a marvellous cross-section of finely spun jazz compositions such as "Medvind", Latino tracks like "Mustasch", rhythmically no-hold-barred ass-kickers like "Norrland Guld" and pensive fantasies like "God Natt". "Movie" instantly generates frame sequences in the mind, while with "Nimis" it's easy to imagine Will Downing constructing a relaxed pop number out of it.

This 2008 album firmly established their reputation with the critics and a growing audience. A refreshing follow-up album for hard-core jazz fans and a broad group of listeners from other genres simply interested in the melodies and grooves. The Tingvall Trio, led by pianist Martin Tingvall, are often compared to the legendary Esbjorn Svensson Trio (E.S.T.) due to the exuberant energy and clarity of their music, and because Martin is also Swedish. However, their subtle jazz-rock approach employs a totally acoustic, non-electronic sound.
