Stefan Orins (piano), Christophe Hache (double bass) and Peter Orins (drums), i.e. the Stefan Orins Trio, celebrated 25 years of playing together with this live show at l’Hospice d’Havré in Tourcoing (F) on October 11, 2021.
“Natt Resa” opens the listen with warm bass plucking, as agile keys and light drums enter the cautious jazz climate, and “Fjell Luft” follows with a quicker pace of piano acrobatics amid a cozy energy of mature and dynamic song craft.
In the middle, “Pétales Au Vent” recruits a bare, intimate landscape of skittering keys, well timed bass and reserved drumming, while “Taplow Court” rumbles a bit lower before emitting a stylish and rhythmic interplay between the brothers. “For” exits the listen, and moves with a stirring, sparse appeal where the sophisticated keys illuminate a very emotive encore.
The trio treat us to old compositions, newer selections and even a brand new piece, as their avant-garde and contemporary jazz ways illustrate a strong attention to detail on this glorious performance.
Travels well with: Otto- Danses; Peter Orins- VRTN & VBTRN
